A 6.2-magnitude earthquake has struck off the east coast of the Indonesian resort island of Bali.
Residents have fled from the area in fears of a tsunami.
No official alert for a tsunami has been issued.
The quake hit around 300 kilometres east of Bali at a depth of around 72 kilometres just off the island of Sumbawa at 10:30pm Irish time Thursday.
“The earthquake was quite long. Most people had just woken up and they started running out from their homes. My family and I also ran away because we were afraid,” Djunaedi Garib who lives in Hambala, southeast of the epicentre, on the island of Sumba said.,
Indonesia experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity due to its position on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, where tectonic plates collide.
