Two aftershocks hit Lombok, measuring magnitude 5.4 and 6.5, on August 19, sending locals into panic as they ran for safety.

The Indonesian island has been affected by a series of aftershocks since the devastating 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck on August 6, leaving over 400 dead and hundreds of thousands without homes.

Sunday's aftershocks occurred at around 10 am and 11 am local time. The impact triggered a landslide, causing dust and rubble to tumble down Mount Rinjani, the epicenter of the quake and pictured in the video.

The BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency ) Command Post has confirmed that earthquake shocks were felt for four to eight seconds in East Lombok, North Lombok, West Lombok and Central Lombok regencies. No fatalities were reported.
