Magnitude 6.4 earthquake strikes close Australian neighbour


 

Vanuatu, one of Australia’s closest island neighbours, has been rocked by a massive magnitude 6.4 earthquake.

The undersea quake occurred north of Port Villa, Vanuatu’s capital, about 9.23am local time at a depth of 32km, the government-run Geoscience Australia portal states.

The Bureau of Meteorology has stated there is no tsunami risk to Australia.

The island nation is 3,600km off the coast of northeastern Queensland and is home to about 340,000 people

It follows a 6.2 magnitude earthquake occurring about 95km from Luganville earlier this month.
