While over on the other side.

Magnitude 6.8 earthquake shakes Ecuador, at least 14 deaths reported.

Sadly a bit more shaking going on just to the north of here. :-(

Papua New Guinea East Sepik province hit by 7.1 magnitude earthquake, three dead.

At least three people have been killed after a magnitude-7.1 earthquake hit Papua New Guinea's East Sepik province.

The quake hit the remote Chambri Lake, south-west of Wewak, at a depth of 60 kilometres, just after 4am on Monday.

A spokesman for Papua New Guinea's Natural Disaster Centre said one person had died in Wewak, while two people had died in Angoram district.

A local councillor in Angoram district, Darren Mai, said the two dead were family members.

"One of the houses fell on [my family member] and her baby boy … they died instantly," he said.

According to early reports from villages in the area, people required medical attention and dozens of houses collapsed.

Strong earthquake hits central Japan, killing one and leaving 20 with injuries.

A strong, shallow offshore earthquake has hit central Japan killing at least one person and injuring more than 20 others and disrupting plans for holiday makers.

In Japan, its meteorological agency originally measured the quake at magnitude-6.5 and said it was centred at a depth of about 12 kilometres.

More than 50 aftershocks strong enough to be felt have been recorded since, including one at magnitude-5.8 on Friday night, local time.

Most injuries and damages were reported in Suzu city, at the northern tip of Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa prefecture....

Now to the islands off to the NE of here.

‘Cabinets were flung open’: Pacific island nations rocked by massive earthquake.

Cabinets were flung open during a major earthquake that rocked the Pacific island nation of Tonga – some as far away as Samoa also being able to feel the tremors.

The 7.5 magnitude quake struck 73km northwest of Hihifo island about 5am Thursday, according to Geoscience Australia.

Aggie Pula-Letuligasenoa lives in the nearby Pacific island United States territory of American Samoa, and also felt the tremor....

Hidden Volcano Abyss: Behind Tonga's Massive Eruption.
I found this on YouTube and it's only 5 days old, it seems there is a twin to the monster volcano that erupted in 2022 called Tofua, it erupts once every 400 years and it has been 400yrs.
I couldn't find the ring of fire thread, so I thought this is very important and fascinating as Spock would say.

Australia’s Lord Howe Island issued tsunami warning after undersea earthquake.

A tsunami watch has been issued for Australia after a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck in New Caledonia.

The Bureau of Meteorology on Friday afternoon warned of a potential threat to people on Lord Howe Island following the undersea earthquake at 12.57pm eastern time near the Southeast of the Loyalty Islands.

In an update shortly after 2pm, the BoM said an eight centimetre tsunami wave had been observed in New Caledonia.

A potential tsunami could begin affecting Lord Howe Island after 4.15pm, BoM said.

An alert from the agency at 1.10pm stated the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre was closely monitoring the situation and would “advise immediately if there is cause for concern”.

There is no threat posed to Australia’s mainland, while islands close to the earthquake have not been identified as at risk.

The government’s Smarttraveller agency made an announcement of its own while informing Australians Tsunami waves could reach one metre in coastal areas of Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji, Kiribati and New Zealand.......
