An earthquake of magnitude 7.6 struck the Kermadec Islands region of New Zealand, triggering tsunami warnings. The quake damaged buildings and a cathedral in the islands and cut off communication. The U.S. Geological Survey and Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued tsunami warnings for the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand, and Tonga. New Zealand's tsunami warning system also alerted areas around Northland, Bay of Plenty, East Coast, and Bay of Hawks to evacuate coastal regions immediately. While the loss of life was unknown, the article concludes the warning system operated correctly but more precautions should be taken for future earthquakes and tsunamis in the seismically active Kerma
