Moderate earthquake shakes Bali

DENPASAR, Bali: An earthquake shook Indonesia's tourist island of
Bali on Thursday, sending some people rushing out of buildings
according to local media reports, but police said there were no
reports of casualties or damage.

A local police officer, who declined to be identified, called
the quake a "minor shake" and said there were no reports of
casualties or damage.

"An earthquake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale hit Bali at
11.09 a.m. The epicenter was 150 kilometers south of Denpasar,"
said Fauzi, an official at the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency
in Jakarta. That would put the epicenter in the sea. Denpasar is
near Bali's southern coast. -- Reuters
