A shallow 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the Indonesian islands of Java and Bali early Thursday, the United States Geological Survey said, causing panicked people to flee their homes. The head of Indonesia's geophysics agency said there had been no reports of casualties or damage, although information was still being gathered in East Java province. "The quake didn't trigger any tsunami for sure," Dwikorita Karnawati told AFP.
