Japan Earthquake: First-Ever Nankai Trough Alert Issued After 7.1 Quake Hits Kyushu-What it Means?
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued its first-ever alert for a potential large earthquake around the Nankai Trough following a 7.1 magnitude quake off Kyushu’s coast.
This alert suggests an increased likelihood of a major earthquake in the Nankai Trough, a historically active fault that triggered the 1946 NankaidĹŤ earthquake.
Japan, located on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," faces heightened concerns about infrastructure and nuclear plant safety due to these recent seismic events.
Japan issues top-level warnings as floods and landslides hit Kyushu
Heavy rain lashed Japan’s southern Kyushu island on Friday, triggering floods, landslides and mass evacuations as authorities issued the highest-level warnings in parts of the region.

Russia’s Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula has been rocked by yet another earthquake, this time a magnitude 6.0 tremor, just six days after a catastrophic 8.8 magnitude quake shattered the region and sent tsunami warnings rippling across the Pacific. The previous quake, which struck on July 30 southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky city, forced mass evacuations from Japan to Chile and triggered a volcanic eruption in the already volatile peninsula.
The new quake hit on Tuesday, raising fresh fears of aftershocks and renewed volcanic activity. Meanwhile, earlier on August 3, the Kuril Islands were also jolted by a 6.7 magnitude quake, as the Pacific Ring of Fire remains dangerously unstable. Authorities are monitoring seismic activity around Kamchatka as residents brace for potential aftershocks, further eruptions, and tsunami threats. This seismic chain reaction is renewing memories of the 2011 Japan disaster, sparking global concern.

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.

A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck off Alaska's Sand Point coast at 12:37 a.m. local time, shaking the seismically volatile region and triggering a tsunami warning for South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula. With an epicenter just 87 kilometers south of Sand Point and a shallow depth of 20.1 kilometers, the quake sparked panic in coastal towns.
The National Tsunami Warning Center confirmed tsunami waves and urged immediate evacuation from areas between Kennedy Entrance and Unimak Pass. Alaska, part of the notorious Pacific Ring of Fire, has a history of devastating quakes—most notably the 1964 megaquake that killed over 250 people. While no warnings were issued for Hawaii or the US mainland, emergency crews are on high alert. Footage from the moment the earthquake struck shows dramatic tremors rattling homes and shaking the ground. The aftermath is being closely monitored for aftershocks and further tsunami threats.

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.
