A huge earthquake has rocked the American state of Hawaii, sparking fears of a massive volcanic eruption.
Panicked experts have rolled out an urgent review of an active volcano after the 6.0 magnitude earthquake shook the entire island. Sources revealed how the quake struck about 3.7 miles south of Honauna on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Its epicenter was at a depth of 14 miles, along the western flank of Mauna Loa.
No tsunami was triggered by this earthquake, but residents did report feeling it shaking across the state. Strong tremors were felt across different neighboring islands of Omao and Hanalei.
Now, experts are working around the clock to assess the active Kilauea volcano, as per reports from the US Geological Survey.
Located on Hawaii's Big Island, Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes. It's been erupting since December 2024.
