: A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck northeastern Papua New Guinea on Saturday, the United States Geological Survey said, with no immediate reports of damage.
The strong quake had a depth of 53 kilometres and hit at around 7:30 pm with the epicentre about 56 kilometres southeast of the coastal town of Madang, the USGS said.Earthquakes are common in Papua New Guinea, but rarely cause widespread damage. Outside major towns and cities, most areas are sparsely populated, and what buildings there are tend to be made of wood.In April, at least seven people were killed when a 7.0 magnitude quake hit a jungle-clad area on the Pacific island nation.In September last year, 10 people were killed when a 7.6-magnitude earthquake levelled hundreds of homes, split roads and caused power outages across the rugged north of the country.
