7.4 magnitude earthquake strikes off Russia’s Kamchatka coast

A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck near the east coast of Russia’s Kamchatka region on Saturday, the US Geological Survey confirmed.

The quake hit in the same region that experienced a massive 8.8 tremor in July, which had triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific.

Authorities are closely monitoring



the situation for any potential tsunami threat. No immediate reports of damage or casualties have emerged so far.

Russia’s Kamchatka region was jolted by a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake in July, causing intense tremors across eastern Russia and triggering tsunami alerts for Japan, the United States, and several Pacific island nations.
