"Widespread
hazardous tsunami waves are possible," the Pacific Tsunami
Warning Center (PTWC) said in a message following the quake,
which struck the New Ireland region of Papua New Guinea at a
depth of 73 km.
The PTWC said tsunami waves were possible in the next three
hours along some coasts of not only Papua New Guinea but also
Indonesia, the Solomon Islands, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Nauru, Kosrae
and Vanuatu.
