A 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of a Pacific island nation on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The quake was recorded at a depth of about 10 kilometers, with its epicenter located approximately 150 kilometers from the nearest populated area.
Local authorities reported no immediate damage or tsunami warnings following the tremor. Residents in coastal areas felt light shaking, but no injuries have been reported.
Seismologists noted that earthquakes of this magnitude are common in the region due to tectonic plate activity.
