A powerful earthquake struck off the coast of the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia's far east on Wednesday morning, triggering tsunami warnings in Japan and the US island of Hawaii.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the magnitude-8.8 tremor struck at a shallow depth of 19.3 km (12 miles).
Japan's Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued a tsunami warning, with waves of up to 3 meters (nearly 10 feet) possible in areas along Japan's east and northeast coast.
"A tsunami advisory has been issued as of 08:37 (2337 GMT) on July 30," the JMA said on X, adding that "tsunamis will strike repeatedly. Do not enter the sea or approach the coast until the warning is lifted."
"Tsunami waves are approaching the coasts. Evacuate as quickly as possible," the JMA said in a separate update.
Kamchatka's regional minister for emergency situations, Sergei Lebedev, warned that a tsunami of between 3-4 meters was recorded in parts of Kamchatka, as he urged residents to move away from the peninsula's shoreline.
