An earthquake measuring 6.0 on the Richter scale on Friday rattled deep waters near the South Pacific island of Vanuatu.
US monitors said the quake had struck east of the island, reporting no human or material losses. It also did not prompt any tsunami alerts.
Vanuatu, located east of Australia, was in early October rocked by several earthquakes of up to 7.8 in magnitude.
Last September, a magnitude-8 earthquake triggered a massive tsunami in the region. The destructive waves hit the villages and resorts on the island nations of Samoa, American Samoa, and Tonga, killing 184 people.
