Two strong earthquakes struck off the east coast of the North Island in New Zealand on early Friday evening, seismologists said. There were no reports of damage or casualties.

The first earthquake at 4.34 p.m. local time (0434 GMT) measured 5.8 on the Richter scale and was centered about 140 kilometers (87 miles) east of Tikitiki, a small town about 100 kilometers (62 miles) northeast of Gisborne. It struck about 33 kilometers (20 miles) deep, making it a shallow earthquake.

Several hours later, at 7.51 p.m. local time (0751 GMT), a stronger earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale struck the same area at a depth of 40 kilometers (25 miles), according to the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences (GeoNet), the country’s seismological agency.

GeoNet said especially the second earthquake could be felt in some parts of the eastern region of the North Island. However, officials said there were no reports of damage or casualties from either earthquake and no tsunami alerts were issued.

Three earthquakes of magnitide 6.0M, 5.7M.and 5.2M hit off the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand early Friday morning.

It is not clear whether there is a link between the earthquakes and recent mass whale beaching.

Earlier this week, 24 sperm whales beached themselves on Tasmania’s west coast.

Yesterday, 61 pilot whales were found in a mass stranding at Farewell Spit, in New Zealand beach
