Footage shows cracks in a concrete floor caused when an earthquake struck Indonesia killing at least four people this afternoon.

The structure was damaged in the town of Hamadi in Jayapura, Papua, where residents were killed when a nearby floating restaurant collapsed into the sea.

The Cirita Cafe crumbled as the quake rocked the eastern province on February 9.

Four women were unable to flee the collapsed building in time and were buried under the rubble. They were found lifeless in the Jayapura Bay by responders.

Other infrastructure, including the Jayapura Mall, were reported to have been damaged. A number of residents were also injured.

Indonesia's meteorology, climatology and geophysics agency said the earthquake struck at 1:28 pm local time, around 1 kilometre southwest of Jayapura at a depth of 10 kilometres.

The country straddles the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' where the majority of Earth's volcano eruptions and earthquakes happen.

It comes just days after an earthquake in Turkey killed at least 15,000 people across the country and in neighbouring Syria.
