5.8 magnitude earthquake shakes Indonesia's main island, damaging several buildings -
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 5.8 quake was centered 84 kilometers southwest of Bambanglipuro, a village in Bantul regency of Yogyakarta province, at a depth of 86 kilometers .
Television reports showed local residents in the special province of Yogyakarta and its neighboring provinces of Central Java and East Java panicking as houses and buildings swayed for several seconds. Some places ordered evacuations, sending streams of people into the streets. Yogyakarta is an ancient center of Javanese culture and the seat of royal dynasties going back centuries. It is home to the 9th-century Borobudur - nine stone tiers stacked like a wedding cake and adorned with hundreds of Buddha statues and relief panels - and the towering Hindu temple complex of Prambanan, both are UNESCO World Heritage sites and Mount Merapi, the country’s most active volcano.
