Magnitude 5.7 earthquake rattles New Zealand

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake has struck near New Zealand’s capital city of Wellington, government seismic monitor GeoNet says, but initial reports indicated there were no injuries or significant damage.

The quake hit at 5.08am on Sunday, striking 25km west of Wellington at a focal depth of 30km.

GeoNet said more than 37,000 people had reported feeling the shake, some as far north as Auckland in the North Island.

GeoNet said there was no tsunami warning as a result of the quake.

A spokesperson for ***** and Emergency New Zealand said the service had not received any calls for assistance.

Government-owned Radio New Zealand said there were no reports of significant damage or reports of injury.
