| AN earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale has struck India's remote Nicobar Islands. "An earthquake hit the Nicobar Islands north of Sumatra at 4.39pm (20.39 AEDT), registered by other seismologists as 6.5 on the Richter scale," a seismologist from Thailand's meteorological department said. "We cannot tell whether it would trigger a new tidal wave, but the earthquake was felt in Phuket." Phuket is the Thai resort island devastated by a previous series of huge waves that also left thousands dead across Asia. The official described the quake as a "new earthquake" as it was 200km north of the epicentre of Sunday's massive quake off the Indonesian coast. |
