Two
earthquakes hit Indonesia on Friday and Saturday, but there were
no immediate reports of injuries or damage from either tremor.
A magnitude
5.8 quake rattled Indonesia's Aceh Province on Friday at 7:20
a.m. local time. The country's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency
reported that the tremor was centered 160 miles west of the regional
capital of Banda Aceh and occurred beneath the seabed of the Indian
Ocean.
On Saturday,
a magnitude 5.5 quake hit 53 miles southwest of the city of Manna
at 1:22 a.m. local time. The tremor was also centered beneath
the seabed of the Indian Ocean.
Last month,
three earthquakes, including a magnitude 7.9 temblor, jolted the
same region, killing at least 100 people.
