Australians faced panic on Wednesday after receiving tsunami warnings via their weather app, which were later clarified as tests by the Bureau of Meteorology. The alert stemmed from an 8.2 magnitude earthquake off New Zealand's west coast. Authorities subsequently issued a "cancelled tsunami warning" and apologized for any confusion caused.
