The earthquake also injured at least 275 people and destroyed more than 4,300 houses.

As reported, the death toll from the powerful earthquake in Indonesia's Aceh province earlier this week has risen to 30.

Earthquake survivors are taken to Aceh provincial hospital.

The number of people injured in the earthquake rose to 275 on July 5, the National Disaster Management Agency said, adding that rescuers had found more than 10 missing people.

Indonesia lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where thousands of earthquakes occur every year. Previously, in May 2012, an 8.7 magnitude earthquake caused a tsunami warning in Banda Aceh province. Indonesia’s Aceh province was severely affected by a 9.1 magnitude earthquake and tsunami in December 2004 that killed 170,000 people./.
