India's tsunami-hit Andaman and Nicobar Islands have been rattled by 90 aftershocks in 24 hours, most of moderate intensity, the meteorological department said Sunday. Four of the shocks were recorded Sunday morning, measuring between 5.0 to 5.5 on the Richter scale, R.S. Dutta Treyam, director of seismology at the New Delhi-based Indian Meteorological Department told AFP. He said most of the shocks recorded since Saturday morning, were in the same range, except one that hit a magnitude of 6.3. "There is no threat of tsunamis from these after shocks. However, their occurrence cannot be predicted with certainty," Treyam added.
