A USA agency says there is no longer a tsunami threat from a powerful quake that struck off Peru.

An natural disaster with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 hit off Peru's coast at 0918 GMT (4:18 a.m. EST). The epicenter was 42 kilometers (26 miles) south-southwest of Acari.

A strong natural disaster struck the coast of southern Peru on Sunday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said. There's a possibility of "hazardous tsunami waves" along the coast of Peru within 300 km of the epicenter, the agency warned.

A statement says that tsunami waves reaching 0.3 metres to one metre "above the tide level are possible for some coasts of Peru". It also says waves are forecast to be less than 0.3 meters for the coasts of Chile.
