The 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Pahala on the island of Hawaii, the largest of the American archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, the USGS noted. The volcanic area has been mostly affected by major earthquakes in recent decades.
According to the institute, the depth of the earthquake was approximately 37 kilometers. Local media reported that her tremors were felt shortly after 10 a.m. local time. According to the online newspaper Hawaii News Now, several homes were reported to have fallen objects and frames.
