damaging around 1,200 buildings and injuring at least five people, officials said. The magnitude 5.7 quake struck at 6:41 a.m. local time (2241 GMT) just off the coast of Sumbawa island, about 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) east of the capital, Jakarta, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was relatively shallow at about 6.2 miles (10 kilometers).
Five people suffered minor injuries due to toppled walls, collapsed rooftops and falling objects, said Rustam Pakaya, a Crisis Center official.
Around 1,200 houses, mosques, shops and schools were damaged, around 500 of them badly, he said. No one is believed to have been killed, he said.
The jolt, which the Indonesian Meteorological and Geophysics Agency put at a stronger 6.6, did not trigger a tsunami.
Indonesia, which straddles a series of active fault lines, is prone to seismic and volcanic activity. A giant earthquake along the same coast spawned the large tsunami that killed more than 230,000 people in a number of countries in December 2004.
