Cilacap, West Java. Hundreds of residents fled an Indonesian port town for higher ground on Monday when an earthquake struck south of Java. The epicenter in the Indian Ocean was 24 km deep, the US Geological Survey said, after initially estimating it at 10 km underground, and 277 km south of the Javanese coast. Indonesian seismologists put the magnitude at 7.1 and issued a tsunami warning, saying the tremor had the potential to cause a killer wave and asking recipients of its public alert SMS to warn others of the danger.
