SYDNEY, April 17 (Xinhua) -- A strong 6.8-magnitude earthquake has struck Papua New Guinea (PNG) on Wednesday, Geoscience Australia said.
The earthquake, at a depth of 20 kilometers, occurred near the north coast of New Guinea, PNG at 8:55 a.m. (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on Wednesday, according to the Geoscience Australia.
No destructive tsunami 1 warning has been issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.
However, the center says earthquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis 2 that can be destructive along coasts located within a hundred kilometers of the earthquake epicenter.
"Authorities in the region should be aware of this possibility and take appropriate action," the center said in its tsunami bulletin.
