Large
earthquake near Guam, buildings sway

Tokyo, Japan

29 September 2007 06:47

A strong earthquake with an estimated
magnitude of 7,1 hit near the United States
Pacific territory of Guam on Sunday, Japan's
Meteorological Agency said, but island media said
there were no immediate reports of
injuries.

Guam's Pacific Daily News
said the quake could be felt in high-rise
buildings on the island, which is home to a major
US military base.

The quake, at a depth of
30km, occurred at 11.09am Japan time (2.09am GMT)
near the island, the Japanese government agency
said on its website.

The US
Geological Survey also recorded a quake in the
same area, which it said on its website was of magnitude 6,8 and
centred about 345km south-south-east of
Guam.

Agencies said they were on the alert
for a possible tsunami, but the Pacific Tsunami
Warning Centre said one was not expected. -
