A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck New Zealand's North Island near Rotorua, the US Geological Survey said yesterday , but there were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami warnings issued.

The quake hit at a depth of 153 kilometres, around 42km southwest of the town of Rotorua, at 3.02am (0102 AEDT), the USGS said.

The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunmai Warning Center did not issue any advice following the quake.

In September a major 7.0-magnitude earthquake caused widespread destruction in Christchurch on the nation's South Island.
