A powerful earthquake rattled New Zealand's main cities yesterday, sending terrified office workers fleeing. Central Wellington shook "like jelly", but authorities reported no major damage.

The 6.5-magnitude quake struck at 2.31pm near an area where a series of quakes hit last month, the US Geological Survey said. It was felt from Christchurch in the South Island to Auckland in the North Island.
