A strong earthquake shook parts of Indonesia’s main island of Java yesterday, causing panic but only minor damage just two weeks after an equally powerful quake killed hundreds.The US Geological Survey said the magnitude 5.7 quake was centred about 18km southeast of Banjar, at a depth of 112 km. A 5.6 earthquake on November 21 killed at least 331 people and injured nearly 600 in West Java’s Cianjur city.
