"We are currently trying to ascertain if there is any damage on our nationals and residents," a ministry official said, declining to be named. "There are no reports or confirmation of damage yet."

The ministry has released a notice on its website calling for the visitors and residents in Hawaii to ensure their safety.

News reports said that a 6.9-magnitude earthquare struck the island following a 5.4-magnitude quake, with eruptions at the Kilauea Volcano continuing. (Yonhap)
