A strong earthquake hit Indonesia’s main island of Java on Saturday, injuring at least one person and shaking the same town devastated by a tremor last month that left more than 330 people dead.

The 5.7-magnitude quake struck on land at a depth of 112 kilometres, with the epicentre located 18 kilometres southeast of the West Java city of Banjar, according to the United States Geological Survey.
