Rescuers are continuing to search for survivors in Indonesia's Aceh province a day after a powerful quake struck the area killing 102 people.
Wednesday's quake hit the east coast of the province, about 170 km (105 miles) from Banda Aceh. Nugroho said Aceh's Pidie Jaya regency, with a population of about 140,000, bore the brunt of the damage.
