A major earthquake has hit the Nicobar Islands in India, the US Geological Survey has announced.

The quake, measuring seven on the Richter scale, occurred at 1542 (GMT), the US scientists said.

It was felt as far away as Madras (Chennai) in India, and Phuket in Thailand, they said.

There are no early reports of damage or casualties. But the authorities in Thailand have issued a tsunami warning that could lead to an evacuation.
