Indonesia has issued a fresh tsunami warning after an aftershock with a preliminary magnitude of 8.2 shook its western coast on April 11th. The first 8.6-magnitude quake off Aceh province, hours earlier, spawned a wave around 30 inches (80 centimeters) high, but caused no serious damage. The U.S. Geological Survey said the strong temblor that followed was centered 10 miles (approximately 16 kilometers) beneath the ocean around 380 miles (approximately 615 kilometers) from the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.
