Earthquake, Tsunami in Kamchatka: Pacific Coasts on Alert After 8.8 Quake| Details [Video]

Earthquake, Tsunami in Kamchatka: Pacific Coasts on Alert After 8.8 Quake| Details

Kamchatka Earthquake Tsunami alert has been issued after a massive 8.8 magnitude quake struck off Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. The USGS confirmed that the Kamchatka Earthquake Tsunami originated from a shallow depth of 19.3 km, just 125 km southeast of Petropavlovsk. This region near Avacha Bay is now the epicenter of global concern as destructive waves are expected to reach coastal areas of Russia and Japan within hours. The Kamchatka Earthquake Tsunami has triggered international monitoring, putting vast stretches of the Pacific coastline on red alert. #KamchatkaEarthquakeTsunami #PacificTsunamiAlert #RussiaEarthquake #8point8Quake #JapanTsunamiWarning ~PR.274~GR.125~ED.103~HT.318~

Sirens BLAZE As 7.3-Magnitude Quake Strikes Alaska, MAJOR Tsunami Warning Issued | U.S News

A powerful 7.3‑magnitude earthquake struck off Alaska’s coast Wednesday, prompting an immediate tsunami warning for South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula. The USGS reported its epicenter was roughly 54 miles south of Sand Point at a shallow 20 km depth — conditions that raise tsunami fears. The National Tsunami Warning Center confirmed a tsunami has occurred, cautioning coastal communities from Kennedy Entrance to Unimak Pass. Though only these regions are at risk, residents are urged to evacuate low-lying areas and stay alert for updates. Alaska, part of the seismic Pacific Ring of Fire, previously endured a deadly 9.2 quake in 1964—the strongest in North America, which unleashed a devastating tsunami. While a 7.2 quake in July 2023 passed without major incident, the current event has revived emergency vigilance. Authorities are working to assess impacts and ensure community safety as aftershocks and swelling waves remain a concern.

Indonesia Earthquake: MASSIVE 6.7 Tremor Strikes Tanimbar Islands | No Tsunami Alert Issued [Video]

Indonesia Earthquake: MASSIVE 6.7 Tremor Strikes Tanimbar Islands | No Tsunami Alert Issued

A powerful magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck near Indonesia’s Pulau Pulau Tanimbar region at a depth of 49.6 miles, causing strong tremors but fortunately no tsunami threat. The earthquake was recorded late at night, sending residents scrambling from their homes. Despite the strong seismic shock, early assessments indicate minimal structural damage and no immediate reports of casualties. Indonesian authorities, along with global seismic monitors, continue to evaluate the aftershock potential and regional impact. Indonesia lies along the volatile “Ring of Fire” and frequently experiences seismic events of varying magnitudes. Emergency response teams remain on alert as aftershocks are possible. The US Geological Survey has classified the quake as moderate but deep, which likely reduced surface-level devastation. While the region breathes a sigh of relief over the lack of a tsunami, experts warn of potential tremors in the coming hours. Local officials urge residents to remain cautious but calm. #IndonesiaEarthquake #TanimbarIslands #SeismicActivity #NoTsunami #EarthquakeUpdate #NaturalDisaster #RingOfFire #BreakingNews #IndonesiaNews #PulauPulauTanimbar #USGS #GeologicalAlert #EarthquakeToday #AftershocksPossible #TremorAlert #SeismicZone #EmergencyResponse #StaySafeIndonesia #GeologicalNews #DisasterPreparedness Also Read Earthquake in Delhi-NCR: 3.7 Magnitude Quake Jolts Jhajjar, Tremors Felt Across Haryana :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/4-1-magnitude-earthquake-in-delhi-ncr-quake-jolts-jhajjar-tremors-felt-across-haryana-7798445.html?ref=DMDesc Delhi Earthquake: Netizens Flood Social Media With Memes :: https://www.oneindia.com/new-delhi/delhi-earthquake-netizens-flood-social-media-with-funny-memes-7796679.html?ref=DMDesc Earthquake Tremors Felt In Delhi And NCR; Eyewitnesses Share Their 'Scary' Experience :: https://www.oneindia.com/new-delhi/earthquake-tremors-felt-in-delhi-ncr-7796657.html?ref=DMDesc
