MEUREUDU, Indonesia (AP) – The Latest on a magnitude-6.5 earthquake in Indonesia’s Aceh province (all times local):

12:10 p.m.

A woman in the worst-hit district near the epicenter of Indonesia’s earthquake says she fled with her husband and children to a nearby hill after the quake jolted the family awake early Wednesday. They stayed there for several hours until authorities reassured them there was no tsunami risk.

Seaside resident Fitri Abidin in Pidie Jaya district says: “It terrified me. I was having difficulty breathing or walking.”

She says her husband grabbed hold of her and carried her out of the house as their children were crying.
