An earthquake with magnitude 7.0 hits off the coast of Fiji, no tsunami warnings

According to the US Geological Survey, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck in South Pacific on Thursday generating a small <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/75-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-off-coasts-of-vanuatu-new-caledonia-usgs-362714">tsunami </a>as New Zealand authorities told residents to move away from waterfront areas due to expected ocean surges.

Fiji had also issued a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/60-magnitude-earthquake-hits-southern-philippines-361900">tsunami </a>warning after a wave of 0.3 metres, however, later it was cancelled even as the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said that a tsunami has been generated while issuing an alert for Lord Howe Island, but added that no evacuation was needed.

There were no reports of casualties or damages due to the tsunami. The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said the quake's epicentre was 417 km east of Tadine, a town in the French territory of New Caledonia, while adding that there were no immediate reports of damage in the area.

The quake was reportedly followed by three other termors with magnitudes ranging from 5.7 to 6.1. The quake was felt as far as Vanuatu which recorded high tide levels but no damage was reported.

The Pacific which is located in the "Ring of Fire" &nbsp;experiences frequent earthquakes. Three years ago an earthquake and a &nbsp;tsunami on Indonesia's Sulawesi island had over 4,300 dead and several missing.&nbsp;

In 2004, a 9.1-magnitude quake off the coast of Indonesia's Sumatra island had led to large scale destruction with the tsunami killing 220,000 people in the region.

New Zealand issues evacuation alert in coastal areas after small tsunami in South Pacific

A 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Fiji Monday, the United States Geological Survey said, but it was too deep to cause any damage.

It was centred 534 kilometres (331 miles) deep and 283 kilometres east of the capital Suva where residents said they did not notice any shaking.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no tsunami threat from the tremor which occurred at 9:25 am (2025 GMT Sunday).

The area is prone to deep undersea earthquakes and was hit with a 7.8-magnitude tremor two months ago.

Fiji sits within the "Ring of Fire", a zone of tectonic activity around the Pacific that is subject to frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
