Sydney:

A strong 7.0-magnitude earthquake shook northwestern Papua New Guinea earlier than daybreak Monday, based on the US Geological Survey.

The temblor struck 97 kilometers (60 miles) from the coastal city of Wewak at a depth of 62 kilometers, and occurred shortly after 4:00 am native time, the USGS reported.

No tsunami order was issued.

Loosening of soppy floor within the quake zone has potential to trigger injury to communities within the space, the USGS stated, though the world is sparsely populated.

Such loosening, referred to as liquefaction, could cause substantial subsidence and horizontal sliding of the bottom and end in main injury, the seismology company stated.

The earthquake shook an space about 100 kilometers east of the border with Indonesia on the island of New Guinea.

The distant New Britain area, a part of an archipelago in japanese Papua New Guinea, was struck by a magnitude 6.2 earthquake in late February.
