Washington [US], January 15 : A Tsunami advisory has been issued for Hawaii and the West Coast of US following volcano eruption near Tonga.
The United States' Pacific Tsunami Warning Center tweeted on Saturday that Hawaii was issued a tsunami advisory. Other states such as Alaska, Oregon and Washington were also issued tsunami advisories, according to the Washington Post.
"PTWC has issued a Tsunami Advisory for Hawaii. A tsunami is currently being observed by all Islands' Emergency Management. We are relieved that there is no reported damage and only minor flooding throughout the islands. https://tsunami.gov," the center tweeted.
The centre had previously issued a warning for American Samoa, but it was later cancelled.
The tsunami, which flooded the capital of Tonga, required the evacuation of its king, Tupou VI, according to the Hill.
Several countries, including New Zealand, Australia and Fiji also issued tsunami warnings or advisories in response.
