Strong 6.4 quake hits off Fiji: US monitor

WELLINGTON: A strong 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck off Fiji on Saturday, US seismologists said, but it was considerably deep and there were no reports of damage or injury.
The offshore quake hit at 3pm (0200 GMT, 10am Malaysia) and was centred around 287km east of Suva, at a depth of 538km, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.
The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not immediately issue any warnings.
The quake occurred in the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a region of frequent seismic activity due to collisions between continental plates. — AFP
