Hours ago, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the Solomon Islands region. Damage has been reported, but there was no tsunami. The earthquake struck offshore at a depth of 15 km(9 miles), about 16 km southwest of Malango. It was initially a magnitude 7.3, but was later revised to 7.0. Numerous aftershocks have occurred. Meanwhile, the death toll in Java, Indonesia has risen to at least 260 from the magnitude 5.6 that struck the area. Over 1,000 people have been injured. There has also been some interesting activity going on in Central Asia. There have been a lot of earthquakes occurring from northwestern China to northern Pakistan and Afghanistan. There continues to be a high potential for a larger earthquake somewhere.
