Strong Earthquake hits off Indonesia

A STRONG 5.0-magnitude earthquake has hit off the Indonesian island of Sumatra early today, seismologists said, but there were no immediate reports of damage or tsunami warnings issued.
The undersea quake struck at 4.14am (7.14am AEST today) at a depth of 39km, around 100km south-west of Banda Aceh in northern Sumatra, the US Geological Survey said.
Indonesia sits on the Pacific "Ring of Fire", where the meeting of continental plates causes high seismic activity, and Sumatra is particularly prone to earthquakes.
