  "account": "A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck near Jakarta's Thousand Islands early Saturday, with tremors felt across Jakarta, Java, and Sumatra. Dr Wijayanto, director of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency's Earthquake and Tsunami Division, revised the initial magnitude of 5.9 to 6.5 after further analysis. The epicentre was located in the Java Sea, 69km northeast of the Thousand Islands, at a depth of 368km, resulting in a deep earthquake caused by intraslab activity. A tsunami warning was not issued due to the location and depth of the earthquake's hypocentre. The strongest tremors were reported in Banten, West Java, and southern Sumatra, while weaker shaking was felt in Yogyakarta, Malang, and Padang. Commuter Line services were suspended for inspections, resuming at 5.26am and 5.45am respectively. No aftershocks were reported as of 5am.",
