Indonesia's Geophysical Agency says a fresh aftershock of 8.2 magnitude has hit off the Sumatra province of Aceh following an earlier 8.6 magnitude quake. A new tsunami warning has been issued. Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency is sending a rescue team to Aceh, after the quake knocked out the province's electricity and sent locals scrambling for higher ground, Reuters says.

Update: Warning center: "The threat has diminished or is over for most areas"
