In an unusual event for the east coast of the United States, New York experienced a rare earthquake measuring 4.7 magnitude, as reported by the US Geological Survey (USGS) on Friday (Apr 5).
The quake, striking in the morning around 10:23 am (local time), caused buildings to shake, instigating panic among residents.

Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano erupted again early Wednesday morning, unleashing a spectacular 300-foot lava fountain in its 30th eruption in under a year. The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) confirmed that “vigorous fountaining” erupted from the Halemaʻumaʻu crater around 1:20 a.m. local time. Lava spewed from the north vent, reaching between 150 and 300 feet, while USGS live cameras captured the molten display from multiple angles. An orange aviation alert has been issued due to the eruption, but nearby airports remain unaffected.
Since December 23, 2024, Kīlauea’s eruptive cycle has continued with brief, dramatic episodes. The National Weather Service warned that volcanic gas and ash could drift south, potentially impacting nearby communities. Despite the awe-inspiring natural show, scientists caution that these eruptions can be unpredictable and potentially hazardous. Kīlauea remains one of Earth’s most active volcanoes-and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.

A massive earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale struck Russia’s Kuril Islands on Sunday, sending tremors across the Pacific Rim but sparking no tsunami warnings. The quake, initially pegged at 6.35 magnitude by the German Research Center for Geosciences, was later upgraded by both the US Geological Survey and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
Fortunately, no tsunami alerts were issued, calming fears of a wider Pacific disaster. The quake's epicenter lay off Russia’s remote eastern coast, a region often rocked by seismic activity due to tectonic collisions along the Pacific Ring of Fire. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, but authorities are closely monitoring the region for aftershocks. The Kuril Islands, located between Russia and Japan, have been a long-standing hotspot for both geological tension and geopolitical friction. Experts advise residents to stay alert and follow official updates in case of aftershocks.

US President Donald Trump has reportedly floated the idea of deploying Chinese peacekeepers to Ukraine as part of a potential ceasefire deal with Russia, according to the Financial Times. Sources claim Trump suggested Chinese troops could patrol a neutral zone along the 1,300km frontline between Russian and Ukrainian forces. The proposal, allegedly made during a White House meeting with European leaders and President Volodymyr Zelensky, has triggered controversy and resistance from EU nations. Zelensky himself has rejected the idea in the past, citing Beijing’s failure to prevent earlier conflicts. While a senior Trump official dismissed the FT report as “false,” the very suggestion of Chinese boots on Ukrainian soil is sparking global debate. Beijing has so far denied any willingness to join such missions, insisting on neutrality. Moscow, however, has signaled it would only accept peace guarantees backed by UN Security Council powers, including China.
