(Worthy News) – A powerful earthquake struck Papua New Guinea early Friday, one month after an even stronger quake killed 125 people on the island nation.
Hawaii’s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center registered the tremor at a magnitude of 7.2, but said that an immediate danger had passed. There were no immediate reports of damages or casualties, this is not unusual however, as the country’s mountainous and remote landscape can make it difficult to ascertain the extent of a quake’s impact for several days.
