A 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit Hawaii on Friday, with no tsunami threat or immediate reports of damage.
LOS ANGELES: A 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit Hawaii on Friday, the United States Geological Survey said.
The tremor occurred at a depth of 22.4 kilometres (14 miles), around 12 kilometres south of Honaunau-Napoopoo on Hawaii’s main island, USGS said.
It struck at 09:46 pm (0746 GMT Saturday), it said.
There was no danger of a tsunami, the National Tsunami Warning Center said.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
Hawaii is a seismically active part of the planet despite being in the middle of a huge tectonic plate.
It is home to six active volcanoes including Kilauea, which regularly wows helicopter-riding tourists who come to see its red-hot shows.
It is also the location of Mauna Loa, the world’s biggest volcano.
