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.</blockquote>
