Indonesia has issued a tsunami alert after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck near the province of Aceh.

The quake struck offshore, 214km (133 miles) south-east of the provincial capital of Banda Aceh, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.

It had a depth of 61.4km (38.2 miles), the USGS said.

The site is very close to that of the 2004 earthquake that triggered the Indian Ocean tsunami, which killed about 220,000 people.

The epicentre was about 66km (41 miles) south-west of Meulaboh district, an area which was devastated in the 26 December 2004 earthquake and tsunami, Indonesia’s earthquake agency said.

The quake hit at 1259 (0559 GMT).

Let’s pray for those misfortune….
