A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, on the Big Island of Hawaii on Friday morning, the US Geological Survey said.

No tsunami was expected, according to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. The earthquake, which the USGS initially reported as magnitude 6.3 before downgrading it, was centered on Mauna Loa's southern flank, 1.3 miles (2km) south-west of Pahala. Shaking could be felt as far as Honolulu, about 200 miles to the north on the island of Oahu.
