Earthquake In New Zealand: 6.9 Quake Rocks Its Eastern Coast [VIDEO]

Glass shattered, power lines went down and water manes burst as part of the damage caused by Sunday's 6.9 earthquake that hit the eastern coast of New Zealand, hitting primarily its capital, Wellington. There have been no reported injuries and only minor structural damage, Wellington Police Inspector Marty Parker told the Associated Press. No tsunami warning is in effect.

The epicenter has been pinpointed at 35 miles south of Wellington and six miles underground, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. This quake comes after a series of small tremors that have hit New Zealand during the span of a few days, CNN reported. New Zealand is located near what is known as the "Pacific Ring of Fire," which is prone to seismic activity. The last major earthquake it experienced was in 2011, when a 6.3 magnitude temblor killed 185 people and destroyed the downtown area of Christchurch.
