WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A magnitude 7.1 earthquake jolted the Indian Ocean off Indonesia's Sumatra island early on Thursday Indonesian time, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The USGS said the quake, which hit at 4:02 a.m. (2102 GMT), was quite shallow at only 30 km deep and was centered in the Indian Ocean, 166 km west, southwest of Bengkulu in Sumatra. The agency later revised the location to put it at 135 km west of Bengkulu.
