Watch: Fiji has declared a state of natural disaster.
Severe Cyclone Yasa has made landfall on Fiji, with wind gusts up to 345km/h threatening to decimate the island nation.
The category 5 storm was initially due to hit Vanua Levu - Fiji's major northern island - at about 9pm (NZ time), however, it struck about an hour earlier than expected.
MetService Fiji duty forecaster Amit Singh confirmed the cyclone's landfall to Newshub on Thursday evening.
"The cyclone has made landfall over Vanua Levu, and Vanua Levu is experiencing category 5 winds at the moment. But for the western division it's just gale force winds," he said.
