The aftershocks caused further trauma and panic for residents who lost loved ones or homes in the disaster earlier this month, as terrified people took to the streets fearing their homes would fall on top of them.
The U.S Geological Survey estimated the latest tremor to 7.9 km (4.9 miles) below the earth.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, Disaster mitigation agency spokesman, said there were no reports of casualties or damage so far.
More than 12,000 building were badly damaged or collapsed, and many of those still standing were in a fragile state when they were rocked by Thursday's tremor.
Holidaymaker Charlotte Neal, in Ubud, said:
"We were travelling in the car in a narrow side street when people started running from shops and shouting. Our driver was Balinese and told us they were shouting ‘earthquake’."
"He turned the engine off and we felt the car shake for about 10 seconds, before calming again."He added:
"It was really strange, people then seemed unfazed and went about their business as normal."
"It is the third earthquake we have felt in a week. The first was when we were in Uluwatu, then another in Canggu. It’s a bit unnerving."More than 20,000 people have been displaced, and a humanitarian crisis is looming as they're in desperate need of clean water, food, medicine and shelter.
Indonesian government is heavily tasked with providing aid to tens of thousands of people, evacuating thousands of tourists and searching thousands of flattened or damaged buildings for bodies.
Britain's Foreign Office advised against all but essential travel to the Gili Islands - Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air - off the north-west coast of Lombok.
It wrote:
"Following the 6.9 magnitude earthquake in the region on 5 August, there is a risk of aftershocks, which could cause further damage to buildings and pose risks to safety."
"In the event of serious injury, access to immediate medical assistance on the islands is extremely limited."
"There also continue to be power outages and a lack of clean water."
"If you have remained on the islands and now wish to leave, contact the local Tourist Police on the islands for up-to-date information on departure options."Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
