JAKARTA (Reuters) - A massive 8.7 magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia's Sumatra island Monday and killed several people, perhaps dozens, but there were no immediate reports of a tsunami, residents and officials said.
The epicenter, off the coast, was very close to that of the Dec. 26 quake which triggered a tsunami that left nearly 300,000 people dead or missing across Asia.
