A 5.2 earthquake shook Bengkulu at 5.40 AM on Monday. The epicenter was 11 KM east of Lasi, North Bengkulu and 49 KM deep, according to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) Agency.
No damage or injuries were reported.
Bengkulu BMKG head Dadang told Metro TV the quake was triggered by routine movement of the Mentawai plate. He advised local residents to stay alert but avoid panicking.
It was the fourth earthquake measuring 5.0 or more in the Bengkulu area in the last month. A 4.4 quake also struck the district on Sunday.
A 7.9 magnitude quake hit Bengkulu in September 2007, damaging thousands of buildings and killing hundreds of people.
