A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, shaking cities, damaging buildings, and triggering tsunami alerts across the Pacific Rim. The epicenter was 74 miles from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, where power outages and mobile disruptions followed. Russia, Japan, Canada, the U.S., Mexico, New Zealand, and the Philippines all issued coastal warnings. Waves of 1–3 feet reached Oregon, British Columbia, and the Kuril Islands, with strong currents posing risks to beachgoers. Airlines paused Hawaii-bound flights, and ferries and trains were halted in Japan. While most nuclear sites reported no issues, thousands sought shelter in evacuation centers. Experts warn of continuing aftershocks.
