{"content":"🌊 Powerful Earthquake in Russia Triggers Tsunami Warnings Across Several Countries
On July 30, 2025, a massive 8.8‑magnitude earthquake struck Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, shaking the ground for nearly three minutes. With a shallow depth of just 19 km, the quake raised serious fears of destruction.
Immediately after, tsunami warnings were issued across the Pacific, including Japan, Hawaii, Chile, and New Zealand. Waves reached up to 5 meters in Kamchatka, about 1.3 m in Japan, and 1.7 m in Hawaii. Fishing boats were swept away, ports flooded, and several coastal areas suffered power outages.
In Petropavlovsk‑Kamchatsky, a kindergarten was damaged, hospitals struggled to keep patients safe during surgeries, and several people were injured while fleeing. Fortunately, no fatalities have been reported. Experts say the quake struck a megathrust subduction fault, one of the most dangerous fault types in the world.
Multiple aftershocks followed, some as strong as 6.9, with seismologists warning more powerful tremors may come in the days ahead. Authorities credit early warning systems and swift evacuations for preventing a major tragedy.
💬 Do you think Pacific nations are prepared enough to face disasters of this scale?
