This is reported by the BBC.

According to the US Geological Survey, the magnitude of the earthquake was 5.6.

Many are hospitalized, many have to be helped just on the street.

Rescuers continue their search in the hope of finding alive people under the rubble.

The area where the earthquake occurred is densely populated, many houses here were built sloppily - they turned into piles of garbage.

West Java Governor

also reported that more than 326 people were injured.

He said the number of injured and dead is likely to rise because there are still many people in the disaster zone, in its remote areas.

The governor also said that more than 13,000 people had to leave their homes.

Earthquakes occur quite often in Indonesia - the country is located in the "ring of fire" zone of tectonic activity in the Pacific Ocean.

So, as a result of a powerful earthquake on the island of Sulawesi in 2018, more than 2 thousand people died.
