Early Thursday, Papua New Guinea was struck by a magnitude 6.0 earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The quake occurred approximately 65 kilometers southeast of Kimbe, with a depth of about 50 kilometers. It hit outside Kimbe, located in the West New Britain region, at around 1:13 am local time (1513 GMT Wednesday).
This seismic event adds to the ongoing geological activity in the region, highlighting the vulnerability of areas like Papua New Guinea to earthquakes. The depth of the quake suggests it originated relatively deep within the earth’s crust.
As seismic events can have significant implications for local communities, it’s crucial for authorities to monitor the situation closely and assess any potential impact on infrastructure and residents. Such occurrences serve as a reminder of the importance of preparedness and response measures in regions prone to earthquakes.
