Jakarta - BNA
An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 struck off the west coast of Indonesia''s Northern Sumatra on Wednesday, the US Geological Survey reported, but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
A tsunami warning was issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, and Indonesia also issued a tsunami warning but lifted it about two hours later.
The quake, which had a depth of 29 kilometers (18 miles), hit around 423 kilometers (262 miles) southwest of Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province on Indonesia''s Sumatra island.
An official at Indonesia''s Meteorology and Geophysics Agency said there were no immediate reports of casualties.
In December 2004, a giant 9.1-magnitude quake off the coast of Aceh province on the northern tip of Sumatra triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that claimed 220,000 victims, with Indonesia accounting for three-quarters of the figure.
