A 6.7-magnitude earthquake has struck Papua New Guinea, the US Geological Survey reports.
Seismologists said that while the Quake on Thursday was widely felt, it was too deep to cause much damage.
The quake hit some 62 kilometres from the Eastern Highlands provincial capital Goroka and 324km from the national capital Port Moresby at a depth of
105km.
'At over 100km deep it would not have caused any damage. No big dramas,' said GeoScience duty seismologist Dan Jack.
'It was felt in Port Moresby, but just a rumble.'
