Web Desk(April 07, 2018): A powerful earthquake has struck the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea, damaging buildings and injuring a number of people just six weeks after a major tremor devastated the region, provincial authorities said.
The US Geological Survey said the magnitude 6.3 quake struck the highlands on Saturday at a depth of 10 kilometers — much shallower than the February 26 quake.
“It was a bad as the last earthquake, very bad,” said the deputy administrator of Hela Province, Pius Pape.
