"We did not issue a tsunami warning for this quake," the official said.

The shakes of the quake was strongly felt in some towns in Bali and East Java of western parts of the country, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman of national disaster agency.

"Still there is no a report of a building damaged or casualty after the quake. But it was strongly felt and triggered panic in several areas," Sutopo told Xinhua.
