NEW DELHI, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- A fresh earthquake measuring 6.0 hit India's Andaman and Nicobar islands Monday, a day after the tsunami responsible for the deaths of at least 14,000.
The new tremor hit at daybreak Monday, according to reports by Khaleej Times Online.
Details on casualties and damage from the latest quake were not immediately known, said Jaya Chandran of the Indian Meteorology Department.
India's death toll from Sunday's sea surge was 4,270, the BBC reported Monday. Giant waves caused by a 9.0 strength earthquake whose epicenter was off Indonesia's west coast killed thousands in Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Thailand and other countries.
The Indian government has sent food and generators to coastal areas devastated by tidal waves, searched for survivors and told fishermen not to go to sea for two more days. The Indian air force was sent out to drop food packets, medicines and diesel generating sets in the affected areas, Cabinet Secretary B.K. Chaturvedi told reporters.
