There has been a M7.1 quake relatively far SE of the New Britain (Papua New Guinea) quakes; far outside the aftershock zone/swarm zone. But, logically liable to be related. But, the process on how it might be triggered would not be clear. Probably not seismic wave triggering (although who knows). Someone would have to look at static stress.

OK, I'm curious about the geology of the big swarm. One of the largest ones was thrust.
