There is no tsunami threat to Hawaii after a magnitude 7 earthquake struck this afternoon in the Loyalty Islands in the South Pacific, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
However, a tsunami threat exists for parts of the Pacific located closer to the quake, the center said.
The earthquake occurred at 12:44 p.m. Hawaii time.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake originated at a depth of about 6 miles and about 51 miles east-northeast of Tadine, New Caledonia.
