HAGATNA, Guam - The U.S. Geological Survey says an undersea earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.7 has shaken Guam.

There are no immediate reports of damage in the U.S. territory. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu says the quake failed to generate a destructive, widespread tsunami. The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake struck at a depth of about 90 kilometres.

Guam is west of the international date line, almost 6,000 kilometres southwest of Hawaii.
