A powerful earthquake of 8.2 magnitude struck Indonesia's Sumatra region on Wednesday, triggering tsunami warnings in the Indian Ocean, sparking panic in coastal areas across Southeast Asia and causing at least two deaths. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued an Indian Ocean tsunami warning after the first quake struck and authorities from Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Australia issued independent warnings, as did India for the Andaman and Nicobar islands and France for the island of Reunion.
