JAKARTA, Indonesia (October 23, 2009)--A strong earthquake Friday rocked part of Indonesia's eastern Papua Island, causing panic among the residents.
Reports of injuries were not immediately available, but local television reported that at least one building collapsed.
Friday's quake struck as Indonesia recovers from another more powerful earthquake on Papua that killed more than 1,000 people last month.
The Indonesia's Meterology and Geophysics Agency says Friday's magnitude-6.0 earthquake was centered about nine miles southeast of Manokwari in West Papua province.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was at a depth of about 22 miles.
