WELLINGTON: A strong 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck beneath the sea off the Solomon Islands Tuesday, US seismologists said, but the tremor did not prompt a tsunami warning.
There were no immediate reports of damage from the quake, which the United States Geological Survey said hit at 1:04 pm (0204 GMT) at a depth of 13.5 kilometres (8.4 miles) southwest of the Solomons' Santa Cruz Islands.
The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue an alert after the quake.
