US EditionRussia Earthquake: Five Powerful Quakes Rock Kamchatka, Tsunami Warning for Hawaii Lifted — Here's All You Need to Know
EASTERN RUSSIA, JUL 20 – Seismologists monitor ongoing tectonic activity after strong earthquakes triggered tsunami warnings, with emergency services advising residents to stay alert for potential aftershocks.
- Multiple strong earthquakes, including a 7.4-magnitude quake, struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on Sunday near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
- The earthquakes happened because Kamchatka is located at the boundary where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate converge, making the region highly susceptible to seismic activity.
- These earthquakes triggered tsunami watches for Hawaii and nearby regions, followed by rapid cancellations as no tsunami waves posed danger to populated areas.
- The USGS forecasted waves between 30 cm and one meter on Russian coasts, less than 30 cm in Japan and Hawaii, and described the threat as "hazardous waves" initially.
- Authorities reported no immediate damage or injuries, confirmed the tsunami threat had passed, and warned of possible aftershocks in the region after the event.
