A STRONG earthquake has shaken the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu without causing major damage.
The magnitude-6.1 quake struck on Thursday afternoon. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning.
Godwin Ligo, a reporter at the Trading Post newspaper, said he felt his office building in the capital Port Vila shake and sway. He said he wasn't aware of any major problems caused by the quake.
The US Geological Survey reported the epicentre was 104 kilometres west of the capital at a relatively shallow depth of 15 kilometres.
Vanuatu is on the "Ring of Fire" - an arc of earthquake and volcanic zones that stretches around the Pacific Rim. It's where most of the world's seismic activity occurs.
