The earthquake, with a magnitude of 8.2, "has the potential to generate a widely destructive tsunami in the ocean or seas near the earthquake," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned. It advised "immediate action" including "evacuation of coasts within a thousand kilometers (600 miles) of the epicenter and close monitoring to determine the need for evacuation further away."
Thai officials were among the first to issue a tsunami warning for the Andaman Sea, an area that saw widespread devastation from a tsunami on Dec. 26, caused by a 9.0 earthquake in the region.
No reports of injury or damage had been received from the region.
Monday's quake epicenter was just off the northern Sumatra coast and between two smaller islands, and located 18.6 miles underground. It occurred at around 11 p.m. local time.
The Dec. 26 quake was also off the coast of Sumatra and just north of Monday's quake.
This report will be updated as information becomes available.
