    ARMENIAN SEISMOLOGISTS RECORD STRONG QUAKE ON SUMATRA

    YEREVAN, MARCH 29. ARMINFO. The National Service of Seismic Protection
    of Armenia recorded a 8.7-point earthquake on Sumatra (Indonesia)
    Monday 9:18 pm (local time).

    7 consecutive 11-12-point strong quakes shook the epicenter 200 km
    west of Sumatra. Some 2,000 people are reported to have died with much
    more wounded. The quake was so strong that it was felt as far as
    Malaysia. The quake has spurred a tree meter tsunami that has come
    down on Simelue island today.

    This is one of the 10 strongest quakes to have shocked Indonesia since
    1990. For three months already seismologists have been reporting
    unprecedented volcanic activity in the country with every next tremor
    exceeding the previous in magnitude.
