AN earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale hit Papua New Guinea today, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.

The tremor struck at a depth of 71.5 miles (115.1km), about 137 miles (221km) north-northwest of the capital Port Moresby at 3:05pm local time.

Witnesses in Port Moresby told AFP that people came running out of buildings, power lines swayed and parked cars rocked.

No immediate tsunami warning was issued.
