An earthquake shook Indonesia’s main island of Java on Monday, killing as many as 162 people and injuring over 700, damaging dozens of buildings and sending residents into the capital’s streets for safety.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 5.6 quake was centred in the Cianjur region in West Java province at a depth of 10 kilometres.

Herman Suherman, head of Cianjur's government, said that 162 people had been killed, as rescuers searched for survivors amid several landslides and aftershocks around Cianjur. (BNPB) still placed the death toll at 62 and rescuers were searching for 25 suspected to be trapped.
