A 5.9-magnitude earthquake in the Banda Sea off the Timor coast shakes homes in Darwin, with residents reporting the ground moving twice in one day. Reports from local outlets say people felt the tremors at home and noticed effects including shaking indoors.
Both outlets describe the event as a single quake of 5.9 magnitude and focus on the experience of Darwin residents.
