The Jakarta Post, JakartaA 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck the west coast of North Sumatra on Saturday morning, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported. The quake struck at 5:14 a.m. with an epicenter located at a depth of 34 kilometers, 368 km southwest of Meulaboh or 427km southwest of Banda Aceh. The tremor, however, did not trigger a tsunami. There were also no immediate reports of damage. Less than two weeks ago, Aceh and its surrounding areas were struck by an 8.5-magnitude quake and dozens of aftershocks, which also triggered a mini-tsunami. The earthquake claimed five lives, mostly due to heart attacks.
