| 2007-11-24 |
 (Bloomberg) -- A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck southwest of the Indonesian island of Sumatra today, the U.S. Geological Survey said. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties and no tsunami alert was issued. The earthquake occurred at 6:02 a.m. local time, 92 kilometers (58 miles) south southwest of Banda Aceh on Sumatra at a depth of 35 kilometers, the USGS said in an e-mailed alert. ``Our team reported from the ground there was no damage or casualties from the quake so far,'' Tri Deni of the Indonesian Meteorology and Geophysics Agency said by telephone from Banda Aceh. |
