A magnitude 6.0 struck the Vanuatu region earlier. It was 55 km northwest of Port Vila. It hit early Tuesday morning at 3:06 a.m. local time. It was at a shallow depth of 10 km. Although the quake was likely to be felt my many closest to the epicenter, it should not have caused significant damage and casualties. Vanuatu experiences significant earthquakes often and much more powerful ones over the past decade, so today's event did not raise that much concern. The earthquake was offshore and a tsunami wouldn't be expected after a magnitude 6.0 event(at least not a significant tsunami).
