Powerful cyclone misses most of Fiji

A powerful cyclone packing winds of up to 250km/h pounded some small islands in northern Fiji, but missed heavily populated areas in the South Pacific nation as it swung away to the south-east, officials said on Saturday. Cyclone Daman remained a category-four storm, forecaster Daini Donu said, but it was weakening.
