CCTV Captures Moment Magnitude 7.3 Earthquake Strikes Vanuatu
Shocking CCTV footage has captured the terrifying moment a powerful magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck Vanuatu, a Pacific island nation prone to seismic activity. The video shows buildings violently shaking, objects falling from shelves, and people scrambling for safety as the ground trembles beneath them.
The earthquake, which struck at a shallow depth, triggered widespread panic, though initial reports suggest no major casualties. Authorities issued a tsunami warning, urging coastal residents to move to higher ground, but it was later lifted.
Vanuatu, located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, frequently experiences earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Rescue teams are assessing damage, particularly in remote areas, while locals remain on alert for aftershocks.
The footage serves as a stark reminder of the raw power of nature and the vulnerability of communities in earthquake-prone regions.
