An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.7 shook the Fiji Islands region on Wednesday, as reported by the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC). The quake occurred deep beneath the Earth’s surface, at an estimated depth of 530 kilometers.
The tremor took place in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a zone known for its frequent seismic activity caused by shifting tectonic plates. While deep earthquakes like this are less likely to cause significant damage on the surface, they can still be felt across wide areas.
So far, there have been no reports of injuries or damage. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely for any developments. Residents in the region are advised to stay alert for potential aftershocks and follow any guidance from local officials.
