U.S. Tsunami Warning Center lifts warning to Hawaii even in Pacific earthquake

-The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center announced on the 5th (local time) that it would lift the tsunami warning for Hawaii, which was issued by a series of powerful earthquakes in remote Pacific regions such as New Zealand and Tonga.

The alert center also lifted the tsunami warning that hit American Samoa earlier than this.

On this day, an earthquake of magnitude 8.1 occurred near the Kermedek Islands off the coast of New Zealand.

Thousands of New Zealand residents were evacuated by the earthquake, but no human or major infrastructure damage was reported. On the 3rd prior to this earthquake, earthquakes of magnitude 7.4 and 7.3 occurred one after another, setting the largest record of successive earthquakes of this magnitude in only a few hours in this area.[호놀룰루( 하와이) = AP/뉴시스]
