Strong Earthquake Rattles South of Fiji Islands
The quake originated deep underground, with its epicenter located 575 kilometers (357 miles) beneath the Earth's surface. The coordinates were pinpointed at 23.34° south latitude and 178.88° east longitude.
Just minutes earlier, at 17:46 GMT, the same region experienced a separate seismic event — a magnitude 5.8 earthquake occurring at a depth of approximately 584.6 kilometers (about 230 miles).
Despite the strength of both quakes, there were no tsunami alerts issued. Authorities have not reported any casualties or structural damage.
