Strong quake hits off Samoa, Tonga: USGS
WELLINGTON — A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck off the Pacific island nations of Tonga and Samoa on Friday, seismologists said, but the shallow tremor did not trigger a tsunami alert.
The undersea quake hit at a depth of eight kilometres (five miles), some 355 kilometres from the Samoan capital Apia, at 12:07pm Friday (2307 Thursday GMT), the US Geological Survey said.
The epicentre was 415 kilometres from the Tongan town of Neiafu, the USGS said.
The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake had not generated a destructive tsunami.
Earthquakes are common on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, where continental plates in the Earth’s crust meet.
