Magnitude 7.4 Earthquake Triggers Tsunami Warning in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula

A series of powerful earthquakes have struck Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, including a recent magnitude 7.4 quake that prompted tsunami warnings and emergency alerts. This quake followed a historic and massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake at the end of July, which shifted the peninsula by nearly two meters and triggered tsunamis reaching as far as Japan and the US Pacific coast. The 8.8 quake also led to a rare surge in volcanic activity, with eruptions from several volcanoes including Krasheninnikov and Klyuchevskaya Sopka. While the latest tremors have not caused serious damage so far, authorities remain on high alert, with officials urging residents to stay cautious, especially in tsunami-prone coastal areas. Despite initial tsunami warnings, the US National Weather Service confirmed no tsunami threat to the US West Coast from the most recent 7.4 magnitude quake. Ongoing monitoring continues as aftershocks persist and emergency services remain vigilant.
