Indonesia: At least 25 killed as deadly quake rips through Aceh province
Jakarta, Dec 7 (IBNS): At least 25 people were killed after a deadly earthquake rocked Indonesia's Aceh province on Wednesday morning, media reports said.
The 6.5 magnitude earthquake accounted for a dozen building collapse alongside the casualties.
The local MeT agency however has said that there's no reason to fear a tsunami.
Aceh was majorly hit by the 2004 tsunami, which killed around 120,000 people.
The death toll is expected to rise.
