A magnitude-6.5 earthquake has struck off the coast of Java in Indonesia, the United States Geological Survey says, with authorities reporting at least one death and damage to buildings.

The USGS said the epicentre of the Saturday morning quake was located at a depth of 92 kilometres, about 52km south-west of Tasikmalaya.
