Two more strong aftershocks hit later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 8.6-magnitude quake struck 431 kilometers (268 miles) off the Indonesian city of Banda Aceh, the US Geological Survey said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Terrified residents poured into the streets of Banda Aceh, which was devastated by a 9.1-magnitude quake in 2004 that triggered an Indian Ocean tsunami, killing 220,000 people including 170,000 in Aceh province.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The latest tremor was felt as far afield as Thailand, where skyscrapers in the capital Bangkok swayed.<\/strong> India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Myanmar all issued alerts or evacuation orders.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono downplayed the threat of a tsunami and said so far there had been no reports of major damage or casualties, but that the country remained on alert.<\/p>\n<p>US monitors who issued the tsunami watch said it appeared to have only generated small waves.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source
