Tsunami warning canceled for Papua New Guinea after a strong 6.9 earthquake

A tsunami warning for Papua New Guinea was canceled after a powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck offshore near New Britain island on Saturday morning.

The quake, recorded at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers, was centered about 194 km east of the town of Kimbe.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially issued an alert warning of waves up to 3 meters, but later canceled it, along with a smaller advisory for the Solomon Islands.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, and over 500,000 people live on New Britain.

Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology confirmed there was no tsunami threat to Australia, and no warning was issued for New Zealand, the Associated Press has reported.

Papua New Guinea lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” an area known for frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
