The BMKG reported the buildings in the West Java town of Garut shook due to the quake and hence, the residents staying near the epicentre were warned about potential aftershocks.

However, it said that the earthquake did not indicate any threat of a tsunami in the future. Garut's local rescue chief Budi Satria said no significant damage took place due to the earthquake.

"Some people ran outside when the earthquake happened but when it calmed down, they went back to their activities. Thank God, so far everything is safe," he added.
