Authorities say there is no risk of a tsunami posed by a magnitude 7.8 earthquake in Fiji.
The tremor struck at 3:49 (FIJI TIME) at a depth of 669 kilometres.
It was centred 101 kilometres east-southeast of the capital, Suva.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre says the earthquake was so deep it is unlikely to make a dangerous tsunami.
There have been reports of damage.
