A magnitude 7.5 earthquake has struck off the Solomon Islands – less than a day after a similar strength tremor.
A tsunami warning was in effect in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea, although it was not known whether a tsunami had been generated.
The latest quake was registered at a depth of 20km (12 miles) below the seabed, the US Geological Survey said. There were no reports of major damage or casualties after the first quake early Sunday local time. – BBC News
