The quake at 2.08 pm Jakarta time (0708 GMT) had the epicentre 106 km southeast of Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara province, and at a depth of 10 km.

Lombok island is undergoing relief work after being hit by a series of strong quakes since end July.

Indonesia is prone to quakes as the country lies within so called "Pacific Ring of Fire."
