UPDATimes - Wellington-An earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale rocked New Zealand about 100 kilometers northeast of Wellington, the capital of the country just before 08.00 on Monday (5/25/2020).
The Genmpa shock was strong enough to be felt by thousands of New Zealanders who were preparing to work, even to the point of stopping the operation of trains in the country. However, there were no reports of damage and casualties.
When the earthquake struck, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, was in an interview session with one television station. When the earthquake occurred, Ardern was in the parliament complex while conducting a virtual interview with Newshub.
As reported by AFP, in the middle of the interview, the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern suddenly told the host, Ryan Bridge, that an earthquake was happening.
"We just felt a little earthquake here, Ryan. The shaking is pretty good here. If you see, things are moving behind me. "Ardern said, looking up and around the room.
Then, the host then asked the Prime, Jacinda Ardern whether to continue the interview or not. With a smile, Ardern said that he wanted to continue the interview because the earthquake had stopped.
"We're fine, Ryan. I am not under the chandelier. I look like I'm in a place that has a strong structure, "Ardern said.
New Zealand is known, it is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire and is sometimes called the Shaky Island because it is often shaken by earthquakes.
In fact, in 2011, an earthquake in the City of Christchurch killed 185 people and destroyed many areas in the city center. But now, the city has been rebuilt.
