AT least six people were killed after a 6.0 magnitude quake struck off the coast of Indonesia’s main Java island, its disaster agency said, as the country reels from a cyclone disaster in another part of the archipelago.

The afternoon temblor hit offshore about 45km southwest of Malang city in East Java.
