HONG KONG (AP) - A magnitude 5.8 temblor hit off Indonesia's coast Tuesday, the latest in a series of aftershocks following the powerful earthquake that hit the region the day before, Hong Kong seismologists said.

The temblor was recorded in Hong Kong at 1:22 p.m. and was centered 217 miles south-southeast of Banda Aceh.

Earlier in the day, the observatory recorded a 5.7-magnitude quake centered about 380 miles south-southeast of Banda Aceh.

Monday's powerful earthquake struck just north of the Indonesian island of Nias. The death toll was estimated to be up to 2,000.
