This is the terrifying moment a magnitude 6 earthquake shook a home in Indonesia.

CCTV footage shows patio lights swinging as the tremor rattled a house in Situbondo, East Java, late on Tuesday evening.

The United States Geological Survey said the quake struck some 156 kilometres (97 miles) east of Surabaya at a depth of 13.9 kilometres (8.6 miles) at 11:49 pm local time.

Local media reported there were no immediate reports of casualties, but multiple homes were damaged in the Sumenep Regency.

Adjunct Commissioner Widiarti, spokesman for the Sumenep Police, said: 'There are damaged houses - some moderately, some severely - but we are still updating the numbers through the early hours.'

Indonesia lies within the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' where the majority of Earth's volcanic eruptions and earthquakes happen.
