A powerful earthquake rocked Indonesia’s Lombok Island on Sunday, the US Geological Survey reported, just a week after a quake killed 17 people on the holiday island.
The latest quake had a magnitude of seven and struck just 10 km underground, the USGS said.
Officials have issued a tsunami warning and urged people to move away from the ocean.
