Two medium-intensity earthquakes hit the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago within a span of less than two hours on Sunday, the Indian Meteorological Department said.

The second earthquake had a magnitude of 4.5 on the Richter scale.
According to the National Centre for Seismology, the epicentre of the quakes was in the Andaman Islands region and occurred at a depth of 10-km.
