A magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck the Pacific island nation of Tonga, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said on Wednesday.
The earthquake of magnitude 6.4 hit Tonga Islands at 0415GMT with a depth of 243 kilometers (150.99 miles), the USGS said on X.
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning following the tremor.
The region lies along the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plate boundaries frequently generate powerful earthquakes and volcanic activity.
