AN EARTHQUAKE with a magnitude of 6.1 struck off the coast of Papua New Guinea today, US seismologists say, but no tsunami warning has been issued.

The quake struck 185km east-northeast of Kandrian on New Britain island at a depth of 67km at 05:32 GMT (15:32 AEST), the US Geological Survey said.

Officials in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, more than 5000km to the west, said there were no reports of damage on Indonesian territory.
