The earthquake occurred at 11h54 on October 28 according to local time, ie 1h54 this morning in Hanoi. Shocking at a depth of 8.2km in the Queen Charlotte Islands, north of the city of Vancouver, AFP quoted the US Geological Survey (USGS) as saying. There is no information about damage yet, tsunami warnings have not been released yet.

Queen Charlotte Island, also known as Haida Gwaii, is made up of 150 islands in the Canadian province of British Columbia. About 5,000 people live on the islands of Queen Charlotte, with 45% of them being native Haida residents.

Previously, a strong earthquake of 7.7 Richter levels occurred in this area. It followed a tsunami warning for the island of Hawaii. Thousands of people fled the areas near the coast to flee. However, only a few small waves hit Oahu, the third largest island in the Hawaiian Islands. The American Tsunami Warning Center then announced that a major tsunami did not occur.
