Tsunami warning after 2 large quakes off Russia’s Pacific coast
KAMCHATKA PENINSULA, RUSSIA, JUL 20 – The 7.4 magnitude quake triggered tsunami alerts across the Pacific, with waves up to 60 cm forecast in some Russian coastal areas before warnings were lifted.
- At 06:49 UTC on July 20, 2025, a powerful earthquake measuring magnitude 7.4 struck off the shoreline close to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Russia's Far East.
- This earthquake followed two earlier tremors of magnitudes 5.0 and 6.7 within the same area, occurring less than 30 minutes apart.
- Three strong earthquakes struck near the Pacific shoreline of Russia, close to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which is situated approximately 144 km west of the epicenter and is home to more than 181,000 people.
- The U.S. Geological Survey issued a tsunami warning for coasts within 300 km, noting hazardous waves are possible and impacts may vary due to shoreline shape and tidal stage.
- The warning cautions that tsunami threats could last for several hours while populations in vulnerable structures face risk, although overall casualties and damage remain unlikely.
