Twin earthquakes recorded off southern Indonesian islands, says USGS

JAKARTA - Two quakes were recorded in quick succession off the southern coast of Indonesia's Sumba island on Tuesday (Oct 2) morning, the United States Geological Survey said.

A shallow and moderately strong 5.9 quake struck at 2359 GMT (7.59 am, Singapore time), around 40 kilometres off Sumba, an island of some 750,000 people.

Sumba is situated opposite the island of Flores with a population of over 1.8 million. Some reports had earlier described this earthquake as having occurred 250 km south-west of Ende on Flores.
