Ordern stressed that his country could repair the fiber optic cable used for communications if needed by the Tongan government, which was apparently damaged by the incident.
The eruption of the volcano, 65 km from Tongatabu (the main island of the country), caused several meters high waves, penetrated into the sea and spewed ash to a height of 20 km.
Official figures on damage, death or injuries are not yet available as communication with Tonga has been affected.

Countries such as Peru, Ecuador, the United States, Chile and Japan have issued warnings for a good portion of the coastline adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, and their citizens should stay away from coastal areas.
However, despite the strength of the incident and the magnitude of the unleashed sea movements, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has ruled out such incidents.
