Multiple Earthquakes Near Vanuatu Trigger Tsunami Warnings, No Damage ReportedPreviousNext

A series of earthquakes struck near the Vanuatu Islands in the South Pacific on October 24, including magnitudes of 7.2, 6.9, and 6.3, according to the US Geological Survey and other agencies. The quakes were shallow, occurring around 10 to 20 km deep, and triggered tsunami warnings for coasts within 300 km, which were later rescinded. No immediate reports of damage or casualties have emerged, and authorities continue monitoring the situation while advising residents to follow official guidance.
