The earthquake hit around 100 miles (158km) southeast of the Solomon Islands in the Pacific.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there is no tsunami currently in place.
The islands lie in the notorious ring of fire, which is a basin in the Pacific ocean known for fiery volcanic explosions and powerful earthquakes.
The entire area has 452 volcanoes in total, and makes up more than 75 per cent of the world’s active and dormant volcanic structures.
Some 90 per cent of global earthquake occur within the ring of fire, and the majority of the most devastatingly powerful quakes lie within the ring.
