Two earthquakes have rattled two regions in succession Monday; Java, Indonesia, and also Crete, Greece.

Java, Indonesia

A 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck Indonesia's West Java province near the capital of Jakarta on Monday afternoon, November 21st, local time.

The earthquake has killed at least 162 people, with around 700 people reported injured by the natural disaster. Several buildings have collapsed too. It struck nearby Cianjur town, about 75km southeast of the capital.

Indonesia lies in the Pacific Ring of Fire, the most geologically active zone on earth.

Crete, Greece

A 5.5 magnitude earthquake also rattled Crete, Greece on the same day, 37 miles northeast of Siteía around 1:25 a.m. local time on November 21st.

A tsunami warning was immediately put out urging residents to get to higher ground, though no damage was reported from the quake itself. A few hours later the warning was rescinded. Crete also lies within a seismically active area, known for having regular, small tremors.
