An earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale hit Indonesia's Aceh province Wednesday. There was no immediate report of damage.

The local meteorology and geophysics agency said the undersea tremor struck at 12:12 local time (05:12 GMT) and was centered about 50 kilometers off the western Aceh town of Meulaboh.

It was the third quake hitting Aceh this month, with the first measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale rocking the westernmost province on Dec. 1.

Nearly two years ago, a magnitude 8.9 earthquake struck the province and triggered a massive tsunami that killed over 131,000 people in Aceh and North Sumatra.
