INDONESIA EARTHQUAKE!

Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Indonesia was rocked again by an earthquake today, its 12th in the past four days, when a 5.8- magnitude temblor struck southwest Sumatra, the U.S. Geological Survey said on its Web site.

The earthquake began at 1:18 a.m., 176 kilometers (109 miles) west from Bengkulu, Sumatra, and was 3 kilometers deep, the USGS said. No damages or injuries were immediately reported.

Dozens of homes were damaged and a health clinic was leveled yesterday in the wake of a 6.6 magnitude quake that prompted the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and the Japan Meteorological Agency to warn about a ``very small possibility'' of a ``destructive local tsunami'' in the Indian Ocean.
