Potres magnitude 5,9 stupnjeva po Richterovoj ljestvici pogodio je u nedjelju Papuu Novu Gvineju, objavio je američki Institut za geološke studije (USGS).

Epicentar potresa, koji je pogodio provinciju Nova Britanija, nalazio se na dubini od 19 kilometara, prema USGS-u a prenosi AFP.

Potres se dogodio u nedjelju u 12:05 sati po lokalnom vremenu.

Lokalne vlasti u ovoj fazi nisu izvijestile o žrtvama ili materijalnoj šteti, a nije izdano upozorenje na tsunami.

Papua Nova Gvineja nalazi se na “pacifičkom vatrenom prstenu”, koji je žarište seizmičke aktivnosti zbog trenja između tektonskih ploča.
