Three sizeable earthquakes have been recorded in Asia and Oceania this afternoon.
A magnitude 5.8 quake has struck Papua New Guinea, while a 5.9 shake was recorded in the central Asian nation of Tajikistan.
A 5.6 earthquake has been felt in Myanmar, already struggling with the aftermath of a huge quake earlier this month.
The 7.7-magnitude temblor that struck Myanmar on 28 March killed more than 3500 people and damaged or destroyed at least 1300 buildings.
The Myanmar quake was at a depth of 35 km, while the Tajikistan and Papua New Guinea shakes were at a depth of 16km and 10km.
