Earthquakes hit Hawaii, Papua New Guinea, and Alaska: No tsunami warnings issued for Hawaii

HONOLULU—There have been earthquakes near Hawaii, Alaska, and Papua New Guinea within the last 24 hours.

Hawaii’s quake, which occurred at 3:28 p.m. Sunday, was the weakest at 3.5. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake originated south of Oahu, but because of sparse station coverage location confidence is poor.

The earthquake was reported to be felt in many parts of eastern Oahu. No tsunami warnings were issued.

A 7.3 earthquake rocked the New Britain region of Papua New Guinea at about 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Local tsunamis near the earthquake’s epicenter were expected but did not occur.

A 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Alaska Saturday night. No tsunami warnings were issued.
