A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia’s Far East on Wednesday, triggering tsunami warnings across the Pacific. The quake, centered near the Kamchatka Peninsula, sent tsunami waves toward Russia, Japan, Alaska, Hawaii, and even New Zealand. Sirens blared in Honolulu as residents were urged to evacuate to higher ground. A 40cm wave hit Japan’s Hokkaido coast, and the Russian town of Severo-Kurilsk reported the first wave and some damage, but no serious injuries. Officials warned more waves could follow. Evacuations and alerts are ongoing across multiple vulnerable coastal regions.
