Daily SumUp

A powerful 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Papua New Guinea early Monday, rattling residents and sparking brief concerns over potential tsunamis. The quake, which hit at a depth of approximately 10 kilometers, was centered near the eastern coast of New Britain, the country's largest island.

Initial reports from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirmed the magnitude and location, while local authorities and emergency services scrambled to assess the damage. As of now, no significant casualties or major structural damage have been reported, though the situation is still developing. The shallow depth of the quake increased the potential for stronger surface shaking, leaving many areas susceptible to damage.
