17:17 No tsunami yet, but quake hits Sensex: The BSE Sensex fell 44 points to 17,199.40 as investors remained
cautious ahead of industrial growth data, weak global markets and a massive earthquake in Sumatra that triggered tsunami fears in the Asian region, including India. India issued a tsunami warning for Nicobar islands and alerted the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh following the quake during the last hour of trading, and the stock market was unable to sustain the gains it had begun to make just before that.
17:14 Fresh tsunami warning after aftershocks: So, right now, there seems to be a fresh tsunami warning after the 8.2-magnitude aftershock rattled the same area off the coast of Indonesia. Other places reporting it as 8.1.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the aftershock struck at 2043 AEST 615 kilometres from Banda Aceh. This follows expert advice that the first tremor had been horizontal, rather than vertical, and that a tsunami was unlikely.
Southeast Asian nations had earlier issued tsunami alerts and urged people to move to safety away from coastlines after a massive 8.6 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra on Wednesday.

Tsunami danger only near quake epicentre
Tsunami danger only near quake epicentre
Parts of Indonesia's Sumatra island remain in danger from a tsunami following a series of powerful earthquakes off the Indonesian coast, but damage across the Indian Ocean basin is not expected, an official with the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
"So far all we've seen is on the order of about a meter or three feet or so, peak-to-peak," said Barry Hirshorn, a geophysicist at center, referring to waves measured by gauges mounted on buoys.
"And we've observed that on our closest gauge to the actual epicenter. The gauge is just off northern shore of Sumatra.
"We don't expect damage basin-wide, but there is danger nearby the source. So the tsunami danger is to the coastlines closest to the earthquake, which would be northern Sumatra."
