Earthquake has been striking different countries with it being common in some areas. In the recent past, the cases have been rising at an alarming rate.
Few days ago, two incidents of earthquake hitting turkey have been reported. The first one was along the border of Syria and turkey and it led to loss of many lives.
Today, a magnitude of 6.2 earthquake struck the remote New Britain region of Papua New Guinea Sunday, the United States Geological Survey said, but no tsunami warning was issued.
The quake had a depth of 38 kilometres (23 miles), the United States Geological Survey said, and was recorded in the sparsely populated West New Britain archipelago region on Sunday morning.
The shaking was felt at a Walindi Plantation Resort near the town of Kimbe about 80 kilometres away from the quake but it was described by a worker as “not too bad”.
“No one really reacted, it shook, but no damage,” resort worker said.
