Another earthquake, this one a 6.8 magnitude, rocked Indonesia Thursday at 8:52 a.m. local time. The Southeast Asian nation is still reeling from an earlier quake that killed more than 200 people near Padang.

At least 236 people are dead and more than 500 injured and the Indonesian Social Ministry's Crisis Center said it feared the death toll would climb into the thousands.
