A staff member at Indonesia's meteorology agency said the undersea quake was centred 170 kilometres under the seabed off the western coast of Aceh. </P><P class="wallacepara">
The quake occurred roughly 65 kilometres south-west of Sinabang, which lies on the island of Simeulue, and was felt in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital.</P><P class="wallacepara">
