Earthquake Strikes PNG

A strong 6.3-magnitude earthquake has struck Papua New Guinea with no immediate tsunami warning or reports of damage.
The quake hit around three kilometres off the west coast of the island of New Britain early Monday morning at a depth of 192 kilometres.
PNG sits on the so-called “Pacific Ring of Fire”, a hotspot for seismic activity due to friction between tectonic plates.
