    A strong earthquake has jolted the Indonesian island of Lombok, causing landslides on Mount Rinjani and damaging buildings

    A strong earthquake has jolted the Indonesian island of Lombok, causing landslides on Mount Rinjani and damaging buildings



    The US Geological Survey measured the quake, which was centred in the
    northeast of the tourist island, at magnitude 6.3 and a depth of 7 kilometres.

    Today's quake was felt on the neighbouring island of Bali and was preceded a
    few minutes earlier by a magnitude 5.4 quake, also in Lombok's northeast.

    Video shot by the Indonesian Red Cross shows huge clouds of dust billowing
    from the mountain's slopes.

    Lombok is still reeling from a quake earlier this month that killed 460
    people.
