According to the official measurement of China Earthquake Network, at 7:15 on September 22, Beijing time, a magnitude 5.9 earthquake occurred in southeastern Australia (37.45 degrees south latitude, 146.35 degrees east longitude) with a focal depth of 10 kilometers.

According to Australian reports, this is the largest earthquake in Australia in five years. The quake is felt in Melbourne, the capital of Victoria. Some buildings in the city were seriously damaged, the buildings fell, and the streets were full of rubble, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

The live video showed that the buildings on Church Street in Melbourne were seriously damaged, and large areas of building fragments appeared on the streets. Church Street is crowded with large shopping malls and many restaurants. One of the building's roof side walls completely collapsed, and a large number of bricks were scattered on the ground. The connecting cables were crushed, blocking nearby vehicles. Pedestrians passing by saw this scene, stopped to watch, and took out their mobile phones to record these pictures.

Adam Pascal, the head of the Australian Earthquake Research Centre, warned that the earthquake was quite severe, lasting nearly 20 seconds, and there will be aftershocks in the future, which may last for several months. Editor/He Yuting
