Earthquake shakes eastern Indonesia, kills at least 1

None

A strong earth quake Thursday killed one person and damaged a hospital, university and bridge on one of Indonesia's less populated islands.

 

Parts of a building at an Islamic university collapsed in Ambon, the capital of Maluku province. Local disaster official Albert Simaela told The Associated Press a teacher was killed when parts of the building fell on her.

 

Simaela said a main hospital in the city was damaged and patients were evacuated to outdoor tents in the hospital's yard.
