A 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia's North Sumatra province on Saturday, the second strong quake to hit the country in a single day, according to Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).
   The latest quake followed a 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck eastern Indonesia earlier on Saturday, killing dozens of people and prompting a temporary tsunami warning that was later lifted.
   According to BMKG, the earthquake occurred at 5:54 p.m. local time. Its epicenter was located on land about 11 km southeast of Simalungun in North Sumatra, at a depth of 163 km.
   The quake was felt in several areas of North Sumatra, BMKG said, adding that it has no tsunami potential.
   There are no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
Rescuers combed through debris for survivors on Saturday after a powerful earthquake struck off Indonesia's eastern Flores island, killing at least 47 people, according to disaster officials.
The national disaster management agency (BNPB) raised the death toll from 40 late Saturday, and rescue official Fathur Rahman said 50 people were injured in the 7.7-magnitude quake.
Suharyanto, who leads the BNPB, said earlier that people were trapped in several buildings.
"These will be the initial targets of the disaster response teams," said Suharyanto, who like many Indonesians uses one name.
Nearly 160 houses, dozens of educational and health facilities and other public buildings were damaged when the earthquake struck the popular tourist island in Indonesia's east, the BNPB reported.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said preparations were underway to bring aid to some 2,000 people in temporary shelters.
