A noticeable earthquake was reported in Tonga earlier today, with residents taking to social media to share their experiences.
Several Facebook users confirmed feeling the tremors, though official details from local authorities are still pending.
One concerned poster wrote, “Why this earthquake?” reflecting the unease among some residents. While the magnitude and epicentre remain unconfirmed, the quake appears strong enough to be felt across parts of the island nation.
In the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, Tonga frequently experiences earthquakes.
However, any noticeable tremor raises awareness due to the region’s vulnerability to tsunamis.
Authorities have yet to issue a formal statement, but experts advise residents to stay alert for aftershocks.
Updates will follow as more information becomes available.
