A powerful earthquake has struck the Indonesian island of Lombok near Bali, killing at least three people.
The earthquake, which struck early on Sunday evening, prompted local authorities to issue a tsunami warning, although the alert was later lifted.
It comes just days after another quake killed at least 16 people in the popular tourist destination.
The Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics said the latest 7.0-magnitude quake struck at a depth of 15km (9.3 miles) at 11.46pm local time (12.40pm UK time).
Najmul Akhyar, district chief of North Lombok, told MetroTV three people had been killed, although he was unable to assess the whole situation due to an electrical blackout. （リンク先に続きあり)
