New quake shakes Nicobar island
NEW DELHI: An earthquake of moderate intensity, registering 5.3 on the Richter scale, hit the coast of India’s Great Nicobar island early Tuesday, the meteorological department said. The Andaman and Nicobar islands have been rattled by dozens of aftershocks since a huge undersea earthquake off nearby Indonesia generated tsunamis that crashed into Asian coastlines killing almost 150,000 people on December 26. At least 820 people died and nearly 5,700 people are missing on the islands. The regular aftershocks unsettle about 16,000 survivors sheltering in camps on the Andamans. afp
