A strong under-sea earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter Scale struck off the coast of Fiji early Monday morning, as per the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

Initial reports suggest that since the earthquake was too deep in the sea, there was no damage caused on the land surface. The exact location of the quake has been identified as being 283 kilometers to the east of capital Suva.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has said there is no threat of a tsunami.
