10.  Powerful quake shakes Indonesia (BBC)
***
Besides Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and a number of small islands were put on alert.

There were unconfirmed reports of a small tsunami - estimated at 1-3m (3-10ft) hitting the Sumatran coast - but not causing major damage.

However, about two hours after the quake, Indonesia's meteorology agency said the danger of a serious tsunami had passed.
