This strong M6.0 earthquake was a deep-focus event, striking at 636 km beneath south of the Fiji Islands. Strong earthquakes at this magnitude are widely felt across a broad region and can cause moderate to heavy damage to vulnerable structures near the epicenter.

At 636 km, this is a deep-focus earthquake. Deep events release enormous energy but produce weaker surface shaking than shallow earthquakes of similar magnitude, often felt over vast distances with less localized damage.
