The government of the island nation of Tonga called for an immediate 
evacuation inland on Friday following what it said was a 7.9 magnitude 
earthquake that triggered a tsunami warning.
“A strong earthquake has occurred near Tonga and felt in whole of Tonga. 
A dangerous tsunami could occur in minutes,” the government said in a 
statement on its website.
“You are advised to evacuate immediately inland to high ground or to the 
3rd level of a steel or concrete building until the threat has passed. 
Mariners are advised to move to deep ocean away from reefs,” it said.
The Tonga government said the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 
kilometers about 200 kilometers east of the city of Neiafu, on the 
island of Vava’u.
The United States Geological Survey (USGA) said Friday a 7.3 magnitude 
earthquake has been detected 211 kilometers east of Neiafu, Tonga.
