The earthquake was recorded 6.2 miles deep 1,000 miles off the coast of Queenstown, South Australia, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.

Geoscience Australia reported the earthquake was “potentially tsunamigenic,” meaning it could cause a tsunami.

The earthquake, struck at 8.58am UK time (5.28pm local time), struck just three weeks after a 5.5 magnitude earthquake hit off the southeast coast of Western Australia – the state’s largest earthquake in nearly 30 years.
