INDONESIA was rocked on Tuesday when a 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck off the southern coast of the island of Java, injuring eight school children and damaging more than 100 buildings including dozens in the capital Jakarta.
Office workers were forced to flee-high rise buildings in the capital while hundreds of people ran down the streets of downtown Jakarta when the quake struck.

Indonesia's Metro TV showed patients being evacuated from a hospital in the capital while other footage showed petrified locals pointing up at skyscrapers in the capital shortly after the quake struck.

At least 130 buildings have been damaged by the quake and at least eight children have been injured, six of them seriously.
