Tsunami watch issued for Indian Ocean after Indonesia earthquake



Indonesia issues tsunami warning after a 8.7 magnitude earthquake hit waters off westernmost Aceh province.

Tremors were felt in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and India. High-rise apartments and offices on Malaysia's west coast shook for at least a minute.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said a tsunami watch was in effect for Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Myanmar, Thailand, the Maldives and other Indian Ocean islands, Malaysia, Pakistan, Somalia, Oman, Iran, Bangladesh, Kenya, South Africa and Singapore.

A tsunami watch means there is the potential for a tsunami, not that one is imminent.

Officials in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are preparing for evacuation procedures, though they stress that there has been no tsunami sighting so far. Three-six metre high waves were expected to hit the Nicobar Islands at 2.40 pm. On the beaches at Chennai, policemen used megaphones to ask people to leave.
