A powerful magnitude 7.0 earthquake rattled the Solomon Islands on Tuesday afternoon, overturning tables and sending people racing for higher ground. There were no immediate reports of widespread damage or injuries. An initial tsunami warning was withdrawn after the threat passed.

Government spokesperson George Herming said he was in his office on the second floor of a building in the capital, Honiara when the quake rocked the city. He said he crawled underneath his table.

Earlier this month, Delhi-NCR, Punjab, and other northern states in India were also rocked by strong earthquakes which had originated from neighbouring country Nepal.
