A magnitude 6.3 earthquake strikes New Zealand’s South Island near Te Anau and prompts authorities to issue a tsunami warning. Multiple outlets report the epicentre is about 40 km north of Te Anau, a town that serves as a gateway to the Fiordland tourist region. Other reporting also cites a lower magnitude figure around 5.9 and a higher figure around 6.6, but the locations and timing of the alerts are consistent across coverage. One outlet notes that the west coast between Milford Sound and Puysegur Point is likely affected. Reports describe the warning as brief, with at least one source stating that the tsunami alert is later lifted after the initial response. In the immediate aftermath, residents and people in affected areas seek updates, and the earthquake is described as shaking buildings. Overall, the coverage aligns on the earthquake’s proximity to Te Anau and the decision by New Zealand authorities to warn of potential tsunami impacts, followed by lifting of the alert.
