Earthquake rocks Indonesia, kills three.

 A least three people have been killed following a strong 6.5-magnitude earthquake on Indonesia’s main island of Java, according to report.
 The earthquake struck at a depthit of 91 kilometres (56 miles) outside the coastal town of Cipatujah on Java island late Friday according to the US Geological Survey. The tremor was felt across the island including in the capital Jakarta, some 300 kilometres (190 miles) from the epicentre. A 62-year-old man in Ciamis and an 80-year-old woman in Pekalongan city died when the buildings they were in collapsed according to the national disaster mitigation agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, while a 34-year-old woman from the city of Yogyakarta died when she fell while running out of her house. It was really disastrous. “Several hospitals in several areas have also been damaged and patients had to be evacuated,” Nugroho said.
 A hospital in Banyumas suffered damage to ceilings, cracked walls and leaks to oxygen pipelines, forcing around 70 patients to be moved to temporary shelters.
 Not more than nine hundred houses were also damaged in addition to schools and government offices across West Java and Central Java provinces according to the national disaster mitigation agency.
 Jakarta resident Web Warouw, 50, was on the 18th floor of a building in the capital when the quake struck just before midnight local time (1700 GMT). “Suddenly, we felt dizzy… We then realised it was a quake and immediately we ran downstairs,” Said Warouw.
 Aid is being distributed and temporary tents have been set up for those who have lost their homes and food also will be provided. The agency was still checking the impact of the disaster and advised people to be cautious and stay alert.
 Indonesia experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity due to its position on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, where tectonic plates collide. Some 170,000 lives were lost when a 9.1-magnitude quake and tsunami struck Aceh province in December 2004, which also hit coastal areas as far away as Somalia.
 An earthquake struck Aceh again in December 2016, killing over 100 people, injuring many others and leaving tens of thousands homeless.
