A massive 7.2 earthquake struck off the coast of Nadi, Fiji, at 11:53am on Wednesday, Sputnik reported.

A tsunami threat was subsequently issued for all coasts within 300km of the earthquake's epicenter.

"Government agencies responsible for threatened coastal areas should take action to inform and instruct any coastal populations at risk in accordance with their own evaluation," a warning from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center read. "Persons located in threatened coastal areas should stay alert for information and follow instructions from national and local authorities."

There is reportedly no tsunami threat to New Zealand.
