A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake has struck off the western pacific nation of Vanuatu triggering a small tsunami.
The quake hit exactly six years after giant waves killed more than 226,000 people in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and nine other countries.
The set-up of the German-Indonesian tsunami early warning system went off to inform people in the area about the possibility of massive waves.
There are no reports of lives lost.
