A shallow earthquake rattled Indonesia’s main island of Java, killing dozens of people and injuring hundreds of others with fears the casualty figures could rise.
The US Geological Survey said the magnitude 5.6 earthquake on Monday was centred in the Cianjur region in West Java province at a depth of 10km (6.2 miles). It sent residents in the capital, Jakarta, running to the streets for safety.
At least 62 people are killed and about 700 people were injured.
Rescue workers are racing against time to look for survivors trapped under heaps of rubble.

Al Jazeera’s Jessica Washington reports from Jakarta, Indonesia.
