Two earthquakes, magnitudes 3.9 and 5.5, have been detected near southern New Zealand city of Christchurch, which in 2011 was damaged by another tremor.
No damages and casualties are reported from the earthquakes this time over, as the stronger one was centered in a sparsely populated area.
The 3.9 Richter earthquake was felt Sunday morning, with an epicenter some 10 km away from Christchurch.
It was followed several hours later by the 5.5 tremor near the southern shores of New Zealand, which was felt all over the southern island.
