Magnitude 6.2 earthquake hits Papua New Guinea

Earthquake: A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck the remote New Britain region of Papua New Guinea on Sunday, the United States Geological Survey said. However, no tsunami warning was issued.

The quake had a depth of 38 kilometres (23 miles), the USGS said. It was recorded in the sparsely populated West New Britain archipelago region on Sunday morning.

Not too bad

The shaking was felt at a Walindi Plantation Resort near the town of Kimbe about 80 kilometres away from the quake but it was described by a worker as "not too bad".

"No one really reacted, it shook, but no damage," resort worker Vanessa Hughes told the media.
