Magnitude 5.8 Earthquake Rocks off New Zealand Coast
19:30 GMT 01.01.2016 (Updated: 19:39 GMT 01.01.2016) A 5.8-magnitude earthquake on Friday struck New Zealand’s coast, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Tremors were registered at 15:02 GMT.
The epicenter was located about 50 miles north-east of Raoul Island at the depth of approximately 61 miles.
No information about the damage or casualties was immediately available.
Parts of New Zealand lie on the so-called Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped string of volcanoes around the Pacific Rim, where about 90 percent of the world's quakes occur.
