Two earthquakes shook the Indonesian province of Aceh on Friday, with the local geophysics agency warning about continued aftershocks since the world's strongest quake in 40 years that triggered a tsunami on Dec. 26.

The first quake measuring at 5.4 on the Richter scale was felt in the provincial capital of Banda Aceh at 03:10 local time and around three hours later a 4.6-magnitude quake jolted the tsunami-ravaged city again, reported the Antara news agency.

A local official with the geophysics agency said aftershocks will continue to hit Aceh in the next several weeks.

A 9-magnitude quake on Dec. 26 has triggered a tsunami that flattened several towns in Aceh and killed more than 110,000 people.
