Earthquake: Two strong earthquakes were felt on Friday and Saturday in the Loyalty Islands, located in the French territory of New Caledonia. However, it is a matter of relief that no tsunami warning has been issued.

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake at a depth of 45 km was felt shortly before 2 pm on Friday. Another earthquake of magnitude 6.5 was recorded 18 minutes later.

After assessing the risk, NEMA stated that New Zealand is at no risk of a tsunami. Today’s earthquake was much smaller than yesterday’s magnitude 7.7, said NEMA spokesman Anthony Frith, who raised tsunami warnings for New Caledonia, Fiji and Vanuatu.

Let us tell you that the intensity of this earthquake was also felt in Australia and New Zealand. Waves broke out in the coastal city of Brisbane, Australia. Authorities have also evacuated Coopers Beach in New Zealand. According to the USGS, earthquakes greater than magnitude seven have been occurring near New Zealand recently.
