A 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Papua New Guinea on April 11 2014 , sending startled residents fleeing from their homes, but a tsunami threat passed with no immediate reports of major damage.

The quake hit at a depth of 33 kilometres (20 miles), some 55 kilometres from the nearest city of Kokopo on New Britain island and 787 kilometres from the capital Port Moresby, the United States Geological Survey said.
