An earthquake measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale has hit Papua New Guinea, but officials say it didn’t trigger a tsunami. <\/p>\n

Residents of Hawaii were tense after the quake, as the threat of tsunami affects them as well; however, no reports<\/a> of strong waves have come in. The earthquake occurred just after one p.m. on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cDamage would be more likely in coastal areas of New Ireland,\u201d Seismologist John Bathgate<\/a> from Geoscience Australia said. \u201cIt would certainly have given the area a good shake but Rabaul is on the edge of our damage radius.\u201d<\/p>\n

A slightly larger quake hit Papua New Guinea just last week, but no major damage or injuries were reported. <\/p>\n
