The epicenter of the quake was located 323 kilometers south- east of the Solomon Islands capital Honiara at a depth of 29.3 kilometers, USGS said. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) has issued a localised tsunami warning for the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea after the powerful earthquake.
