Two powerful undersea earthquakes struck within seconds near Fiji on Tuesday, geologists said, and officials issued a tsunami alert for the local area. No damage or injuries were immediately reported. The first quake, with a magnitude of 6.3, occurred at 3:16 p.m. (0316 GMT) about 255 kilometers (155 miles) northeast of Vanua Levu, the main tourist spot in Fiji's chain of islands, at a depth of 29 kilometers (18 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

Seconds later, a magnitude 6.8 aftershock struck nearby, about 760 kilometers (472 miles) west of Apia, the capital of neighboring Samoa, the survey said. The second quake was much deeper, at 166 kilometers (102 miles) beneath the ocean floor.
