A fresh tremor hit Indian islands far off the country's eastern coast Monday, a day after massive waves triggered by an undersea quake killed at least 2,283 people in India. Press Trust of India news agency put the death toll in India as high as 4,000, but there was no official confirmation of that figure. The moderate temblor at daybreak Monday in the Andaman and Nicobar islands in the Bay of Bengal had a magnitude of 6.0, said Jaya Chandran of the New Delhi-based Indian Meteorology Department. Details of casualties and damage from the latest quake were not immediately known, the official said. India was trying to recover Monday from the massive waves unleashed the previous day by the 9.0-magnitude quake of Indonesia _ the world's biggest in 40 years.
