Moderate quake strikes Indonesia's Aceh

Jakarta - A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck the western coast of Indonesia's province of Aceh Friday morning, but there were no reports of injuries or structural damage, seismologists said. The epicentre of the quake, which struck at 6:02 am (23029 GMT Thursday), was located about 113 kilometres south-west of the provincial capital of Banda Aceh, at a depth of 16 kilometres, said Indonesia's National Meteorology and Geophysics Agency.

On December 2004, Aceh province, about 1,350 kilometres north-west of Jakarta, was hit by a massive 9.0-magnitude quake, triggering a tsunami that destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings, and leaving more than 170,000 people dead or missing.
