Double Quake Shock: 7.0 Magnitude Strikes Tonga Islands After Myanmar Tremor

• A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Tonga Islands on Sunday, March 30.
• Tonga, known for its white beaches, is a popular tourist destination in the South Pacific.
• The earthquake poses a risk to the islands’ buildings and residents, as Tonga lies in the Pacific’s “Ring of Fire.”

An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 hit the Tonga Islands at 5:48 PM IST on Sunday (March 30), according to the National Center for Seismology.

Tonga is a group of more than 170 islands in the South Pacific, known for their beautiful white beaches, making it a popular spot for tourists.

This strong earthquake could threaten the islands’ buildings and residents. Tonga is located in the Pacific’s “Ring of Fire,” which makes it more likely to experience earthquakes.
