Cancel the warning from Tsunami in Papua New Guinea after the earthquake

A warning issued earlier that a tsunami may occur in Papua New Guinea after a strong earthquake of 6.9 on the Richter scale, according to the American Geological Survey.
The earthquake was close to the roof, as the state struck the island in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of 10 km (6 miles) this morning, Saturday, local time, and its center was 194 km (120 miles) east of the city of Kimby, on the island of New Bretin in Papua New Guinea.

Cancel the warning from tsunami

The Tsunami Warning Center in the Pacific Ocean was later canceled a warning that was released immediately after the earthquake, which warned of tsunami waves ranging between one meter and three meters along some parts of the coast of Papua New Guinea after the earthquake.

A warning of smaller waves has also been canceled up to 0.5 meters to the nearby Suleiman Islands.

No reports were immediately reported that more than 500,000 people live on the island of New Bretin. The Australian Meteorological Office said that there is no threat from Tsunami to Australia, which is the closest neighbor of Papua Guinea.
No warning was issued for New Zealand. Papua New Guinea is located in the “fiery belt” area in the Pacific Ocean, which is an arch of seismic rifts around the Pacific Ocean where many earthquakes and volcanic activity occur in the world.
