A tsunami has swept ashore in the Solomon Islands after a strong undersea earthquake in the South Pacific. Initial reports from outlying, remote areas say at least eight people have been killed, but local officials fear the death toll could rise further.
The National Disaster Council chairman told reporters that some villages had been “completely wiped out”.
Tsunami warnings have also been issued for Papua New Guinea, north-east Australia, and other nearby islands.
