Earthquake in Vanuatu

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake shook the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu on Tuesday, December 17, causing widespread damage.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the earthquake struck 30 km (18 miles) west of Port Vila at a depth of 57 km.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a tsunami warning, before lifting it less than two hours later.
