A 5.3 magnitude earthquake struck 10 kilometres east of Eketāhuna on Tuesday night. Over 20,000 people reported feeling the tremor, which was felt most strongly in the Manawatū, Wellington, Taranaki, and Hawke’s Bay regions. A scientist suggests the quake was likely an aftershock from a 2014 event.
