Reports from neighbouring Papua New Guinea were that the tsunami reached the western cost of Bougainville at Torokina 8:30am this morning with waves of up to 2 meters. The waves were described as fairly gradual sort of roll and fall and there was not so much damage.

Some Japanese visitors in Bougainville are reportedly unharmed. Waves in the Buka Passage between the Bougainville mainland and Buka Island rose about a meter but not much damage there either.

The French Pacific territory of New Caledonia, which had placed a tsunami alert earlier Monday, has lifted the warning after only small waves were observed locally, especially on the main island`s Eastern coast and the North-eastern Loyalty islands.
