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 magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula — the strongest in the region since 1952. Intense shaking caused damage across the area, including a collapsed wall at a kindergarten (luckily, no injuries reported). Aftershocks up to magnitude 7.5 are expected over the coming weeks. Tsunami warnings were issued for Kamchatka, the Kuril Islands, Japan, Alaska, California, and Oregon, with the first waves already hitting Severo-Kurilsk. Watch raw footage capturing the terrifying moment the earthquake shook buildings and triggered alarms. Stay safe and stay informed.

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.

A powerful earthquake of magnitude 6.6 struck the northern coast of Chile on Friday, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences. The tremor, occurring at a depth of 104 km (64.62 miles), sent shockwaves across the region, though there have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The deep-seated quake underscores Chile's volatile position along the Pacific "Ring of Fire," where tectonic activity remains frequent. Authorities are assessing the situation as aftershocks remain a possibility and residents are advised to stay alert.

A rare earthquake struck the New York–New Jersey region late Saturday night, sparking online panic and raising fresh concerns over seismic preparedness in one of the most densely populated parts of the U.S. The 3.0 magnitude tremor hit six miles beneath Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, at 10:18 PM, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Residents across Bergen, Morris, Essex Counties, and New York City felt the ground shake.
Social media exploded with reactions—some users shared personal experiences, while others posted shaky videos and memes comparing the quake to recent disasters like the tsunami-triggering quake in Russia. NYC Emergency Management confirmed the event and issued precautionary guidelines, warning citizens about possible aftershocks. No damages or casualties have been reported so far, but many are still rattled by the unusual seismic activity. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as updates roll in.

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.

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.
