Tonga’s National Tsunami Warning Centre has confirmed there is no tsunami threat to the country following a magnitude 6.2 earthquake that struck south of the Fiji Islands this afternoon.

According to the official advisory, the earthquake struck at 3.45pm Tonga time at coordinates 25.18 degrees south and 176.59 degrees west, with a depth of 10 kilometres.

The authority said the quake was felt in Tonga, according to its Tongan‑language advisory.

Despite the strength of the quake, assessments by Tonga Geological Services concluded that a tsunami is unlikely to affect Tonga, and no further warnings are expected unless conditions change.

The National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC) has not been activated, and normal contact procedures remain in place.

This is the final advisory for this event.
