Earthquakes strike Vanuatu and New Caledonia
Updated
Two earthquakes struck near Vanuatu early this morning. They registered 6.7 and 6.4 on the richter scale and hit about 90 kilometres southwest of Vanuatu, and around 180 kilometres from the Loyalty Islands in New Caledonia. The earthquakes were big enough to be felt by the population but no damage has been reported in Vanuatu or in New Caledonia. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre says there was no threat of a tsunami.
