The US Geological Survey reported a 7.1-magnitude earthquake Saturday in the Pacific Ocean to the east of New Caledonia, a day after a huge quake hit the same area.
According to the report, the epicentre was 35 kilometres (22 miles) deep and located about 300 kilometres (190 miles) east of the New Caledonian archipelago.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center noted in its most recent update that any tsunami waves would be less than 0.3 metres (one foot).

The waves might reach the Pacific islands of Fiji, Kiribati, Vanuatu and Wallis and Futuna, it added, after previously issuing a warning for coasts within 300 kilometres (185 miles) of the epicentre.
A 7.7-magnitude quake in the same area on Friday prompted inhabitants to flee to higher ground on many Pacific islands for fear of giant waves. After several hours, the tsunami warning was lifted.
