Earthquake Shakes Indian Islands

A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck an area off the coast of India’s Andaman Islands Friday, raising fears of a tsunami in the Indian Ocean.

 

Residents had reason to be alarmed as the islands were devastated when a massive tsunami struck in December, 2004.

 

No serious damage or injuries were reported from the quake which shook the islands at 11:40 GMT.

 

There were no tsunami warnings issued, although a bulletin from the Japan Meteorological Agency stated there was a “very small possibility of a destructive local tsunami in the Indian Ocean.”
