A 5.4 magnitude earthquake has shaken Fiji, less than a day after a stronger quake rocked the Pacific Island nation.
The earthquake jolted south of the Fiji Islands at 9.20am local time (7.30am AEST) on Wednesday.
The 5.4 magnitude quake struck just 22 hours after a stronger earthquake, 6.4 magnitude, rocked the south of the island.
The quake hit at a depth of 547km, about 560km south of Fiji.
There were no reports of damage or injury from the quake.
Despite the size of the quakes, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no threat of a tsunami.
The 'Ring of Fire', spanning across New Zealand, Indonesia, Mexico and more, is where tectonic plates frequently collide.
It is known for causing almost 90 per cent of the world's earthquakes.
