A 5.9-MAGNITUDE earthquake struck the Fiji region overnight, the US Geological Survey said, although there were no reports of damage and no tsunami warning was in effect.
The undersea quake struck at a shallow depth of 10.2 kilometres around 190 kilometres southwest of the South Pacific islands of Wallis and Futuna at just after 4am local time (3am AEDT), the USGS said.
There was no warning in effect on the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre website.
The region lies in the "Pacific ring of fire", a highly active earthquake and volcanic zone that regularly experiences quakes.
