A major earthquake struck off the city of Padang on the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra island on Wednesday, damaging houses, bringing down bridges and starting fires, a witness said.
Tourists are seen enjoying the sun on a beach in Bali. A strong 6.4 quake rattled Indonesia's resort island on Saturday, hours after a quake struck Sulawesi island, but there were no immediate reports of major damage or serious casualties from either.
Villagers inspect their damaged houses after an earthquake in Pengalengan, in the West Java province of Indonesia September 8, 2009. More than 25,000 people have been displaced in West Java since the earthquake, which hit just off the coast on Wednesday, and an estimated 86,000 homes were damaged, although no major power or industrial installations were hit.
