The Foreign Ministry today confirmed that no Malaysians were affected in the 7.3 magnitude earthquake, which struck southern Java, Indonesia on Friday. 

In a statement, Wisma Putra said no casualties and injuries involving Malaysians were reported following the disaster. 

The ministry also said those who require consular assistance are advised to contact the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta.

The earthquake, which was revised upward from an earlier estimate of 6.5 on the Richter scale, was centred about 32 miles southwest of the city of Tasikmalaya, and was even felt in the capital Jakarta.

At least three people, including a 62 year old man and an 80 year-old woman, were killed while more than 400 houses were damaged or destroyed
