The epicenter of the earthquake is 27 km northeast, or 8.37 LS / 116.48 BT. After that, aftershocks continued to shake Lombok until Monday morning. The vibration even felt on the island of Bali and parts of East Java.

The latest, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) said that 98 victims died, all of them Indonesian citizens. The majority of casualties were hit by collapsed buildings because they could not escape. Victims are also most commonly found in North Lombok, which is adjacent to the epicenter of the earthquake.
