A magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck under the Indian Ocean in the Nicobar and Andaman Island region early Sunday, according to a U.S. geological survey.
The quake struck at 1:26:50 a.m. local time at a depth of 21.7 miles.
There were no reports of damage, but tremors were felt on mainland India more than 600 miles away, according to AFP.
The quake caused power outages in Port Blair, yet no damage was reported. The tremors also caused panic in areas affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, according to the report.
Tsunami warnings issued for the entire Indian region were later canceled. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said that "a significant tsunami was not generated.”
