A magnitude-6.6 earthquake struck Indonesia’s Sumatra near Aceh on Thursday, hitting Simeulue Island at a depth of 25 km. No damage or tsunami threat was reported by USGS or the Indian Ocean warning centre. The quake comes as Sumatra reels from natural disasters, with 28 deaths already recorded from floods and landslides caused by severe rains in North Sumatra.
