A 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck in the sea off India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands on
Friday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, and no tsunami warning was immediately
issued. The quake happened in the south Andaman Sea
about 110 kilometers southeast of Mohean on Katchal Island, one of the Nicobar Islands,
the USGS said. Though the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are
Indian territory, they are on the eastern edge of the Bay of Bengal and are closer to
other nations, including Indonesia and Myanmar.
