Another strong earthquake struck near the Indonesian tourist island of Lombok.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude quake struck Sunday night at a depth of 20 kilometers (12 miles).

There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

Late Sunday morning, a magnitude 6.3 quake struck the island, still reeling from a quake earlier this month that killed 460 people.

The morning quake caused landslides and damaged buildings, but as of Sunday night there were no reports of injuries or fatalities.
