New Zealand's National Emergency Management Agency once again issued a tsunami warning requesting the relocation of residents on the eastern coast

  At 9:10 am local time on March 5th, New Zealand’s National Emergency Management Agency issued a tsunami warning again, requesting residents on the eastern coast to move away from the coast to higher or inland areas.

This is the second time that New Zealand has issued a tsunami warning today. The warning was issued at 8:28 local time after a magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred in the Kemadek Islands in the northeastern part of New Zealand's North Island.

  Earlier, at 2:27 in the morning, 95 kilometers east of Te Araroa, a small town on the North Island of New Zealand, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 on the Richter scale occurred with a focal depth of 94 kilometers. The earthquake was felt strongly in Auckland and Wellington.

The strong earthquake triggered the New Zealand government to issue a tsunami warning. The first wave of tsunamis reached the coast of New Zealand at more than 3 in the morning. It was relatively minor and did not cause serious damage.

After that, local aftershocks occurred frequently.
