A strong earthquake near the popular tourist mecca of Bali killed at least 82 people and wounded hundreds more, damaging buildings in the area as people were seen running into the streets screaming.
It happened just one week after another quake in the same region killed more than a dozen people.
National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said the number dead had risen to 82 with hundreds others injured. Earlier, officials said at least 39 people had died.
The United States Geological Survey said the quake, initially listed as a magnitude 7.0 earthquake but later downgraded to a magnitude 6.9, was reported around 7:46 a.m. ET off the country's Lombok Island, located next to Bali.
