The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says there is no longer a danger of tsunami waves on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula after five powerful quakes — the largest with a magnitude of 7.4 — struck in the sea nearby on Sunday.

The largest quake was at a depth of 20 kilometers (12 miles) and was 144 kilometers (89 miles) east of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which has a population of 180,000, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Smaller — but still substantial — quakes were recorded before and after. Russian state media said, citing local geologists, that over two dozen aftershocks had hit Kamchatka. It added their strength was gradually receding.

The PTWC initially said there was a danger of major tsunami waves but later downgraded its warning before finally saying the danger had passed.

Russia’s Emergencies Ministry also issued a tsunami warning following the largest quake, urging residents of coastal settlements to stay away from the shore.

In addition to the tsunami threat for parts of Russia, the U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center issued

a separate tsunami watch was issued for the state of Hawaii, which ended several hours later.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, and the ministry said it had no plans to evacuate residents. Just over two hours later, it reported that the danger had passed.

On Nov. 4, 1952, a magnitude 9.0 quake in Kamchatka caused damage but no reported deaths despite setting off 9.1-meter (30-foot) waves in Hawaii.

Uttar Pradesh: 1 Kanwar pilgrim dead, 3 injured in road accident in Sambhal One Kanwar pilgrim died while three others sustained injuries after their motorcycle collided with a tractor in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal district, police said.

The incident occurred in the Asmauli police station area when a group of Kanwariyas, heading towards Haridwar to collect Ganga water on Saturday, attempted to overtake on a narrow stretch of road leading to Urha and crashed into an oncoming tractor.

Speaking to media reporters, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Rajesh Kumar Srivastava said, “Some Kanwar pilgrims travelling by bike to Haridwar to collect Ganga water, overtook on a narrow path in the Asmauli police station area on the route to Urha, during which they collided with a tractor.”

ASP Kumar further added, “Three people are injured, and one has died. The deceased’s identity has been confirmed, and the body has been sent for postmortem. The injured have received primary treatment at Sambhal District Hospital. From here, they have been referred to Moradabad. Everyone has cooperated.”

Hawai’i was briefly under the threat of a possible tsunami — based on available data being investigated by forecasters in Honolulu at the time — on July 19, with a tsunami watch issued just after 9 p.m. following a large earthquake that struck off the eastern coast of Russia in the northern Pacific Ocean.

But within less than an hour, the National Weather Service Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no threat and canceled the watch.

This screenshot of a map from U.S. Geological Survey shows the immediate area of where the magnitude-7.4 earthquake struck 89.5 miles east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, at 8:49 p.m. July 19, 2025, triggering a tsunami watch to be issued at about 9 p.m. for Hawai‘i that was subsequently canceled less than an hour later.

The warning center in Honolulu issued the tsunami watch for Hawai‘i following what at first was recorded as a 7.5-magnitude earthquake reported at 8:49 p.m. located 89.5 miles east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia.

Forecasters issued the watch because available data at the time indicated there might be the threat of a possible destructive tsunami generated by the quake off the east coast of Kamchatka, Russia, that could impact coastal areas even far away from its epicenter.

Further updates were planned for every hour — or as conditions warranted — until the threat passed.

If one of the terrible series of large ocean waves was heading toward Hawai‘i, the earliest estimated time of arrival would have been about 5 hours and 40 minutes after the watch was issued, at 2:43 a.m. July 20.

It took forecasters less than an hour, however, to pour over the data and determine whether there was a tsunami threat to the islands.

Pacific Tsunami Warning Center sent out a new notification at 9:42 p.m. declaring the tsunami watch canceled and with a slightly downgraded magnitude for the earthquake of 7.4.

“Based on all available data, there is no tsunami threat to the state of Hawai‘i,” the agency said in its later notification. “This will be the final message issued for this event unless additional data are received.”

After people began to realize there no longer was a threat, a giant sigh of relief washed over social media, with many thanking God or “the Lord” and saying amen for the good news. There was at least one “Hallelujah.”

“[Watch] has been cancelled,” replied Judy Kelley to her own post in the Everything Kaua‘i group on Facebook. “Relax. Enjoy your Mai Tai.”

U.S. Geological Survey explained that the 7.4-magnitude quake occurred as the result of reverse faulting at a depth of about 12 miles.

At the location of this earthquake, the Pacific plate is moving west-northwest with respect to the North America plate at about 3 inches per year.

Note: The North America plate extends westward beyond the North American continent. The earthquake’s location and sense of motion is consistent with the faulting on the subduction zone plate interface of the Kuril-Kamchatka Arc.

While commonly plotted as points on maps, earthquakes of this size are more appropriately described as slips over a larger fault area.

The Kuril-Kamchatka arc has frequent moderate to large earthquakes and has hosted 29 additional 6.5-magnitude or above events within about 155 miles of the July 19 earthquake throughout the preceding century.

A magnitude-9 Kamchatka earthquake in November 1952 resulted in a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami that reached the shores of Hawai‘i, causing damage on the Big Island and elsewhere.

Information from University of Washington College of the Environment Department of Earth and Space Sciences shows tsunami waves destroyed boats, knocked down telephone lines, destroyed piers, scoured beaches and flooded lawns in 1952.

A small bridge connecting Cocoanut Island to the shore at Hilo Bay was destroyed by a wave when it was lifted off its foundation and smashed down when water swept in with a runup of 12 feet.

Elsewhere around Hilo Bay — which recorded the highest levels of runup from the 1952 tsunami generated by the magnitude-9 Kamchatka quake — water levels could have gotten as high as 11.5 feet. The water level rose to 11 feet at Reed’s Bay.

The July 19 temblor struck roughly 45 miles northeast from the 1952 quake’s epicenter.

Some on social media said it’s still important to be vigilant regardless if there is no longer a threat of tsunami waves striking Hawai‘i shores.

“Just FYI,” replied Rob Jr. See to a Facebook post by Dane DuPont in the Hawai‘i Tracker group letting people know the tsunami watch was canceled. “I’ve been through a lot of watches and warnings. The surge still exists. I’ve seen many pulled out to sea because of this. Stay vigilant. Don’t be stupid and think you’re invincible while picking ʻopihi or diving during this time.”

A member of a private Hawaiian Paradise Park group on Facebook informed people the watch was canceled, but encouraged everyone to “feel free to sleep with surfboard tonite for extra precaution.”

The U.S. Geological Survey showed at least an additional nine earthquakes, aftershocks, of magnitude-5 or above — one magnitude-6.6 and another magnitude 6.7 — had followed the 7.4-magnitude monster that caused the tsunami excitement.

Adding in quakes of magnitude-4 or above, there were 15 more strong shakers before this story was published.

Three earthquakes, one with a magnitude of 7.4, recorded near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, capital of Russia’s Kamchatka region.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) says there is no longer a danger of tsunami waves on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula after three earthquakes – the larger with a magnitude of 7.4 – struck in the sea nearby.

The warning was issued earlier on Sunday after the quakes were recorded off the Pacific coast of Russia, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

The epicentres of a series of earthquakes – the others measuring 6.7 and 5 – on Sunday were about 140km (87 miles) east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, capital of Russia’s Kamchatka region, which has a population of more than 160,000.

According to the USGS, the quakes hit the same area off the coast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky within 32 minutes.

The magnitude 7.4 earthquake was at a depth of 20km (12 miles). There were no immediate reports of casualties.

The PTWC initially said there was a danger of major tsunami waves but later downgraded its warning before finally saying the danger had passed.

Russia’s Emergencies Ministry also issued a tsunami warning following the second quake, urging residents of coastal settlements to stay away from the shore.

A separate tsunami watch issued for the state of Hawaii was later lifted.

Germany’s GFZ monitor also confirmed that at least one magnitude 6.7 earthquake was recorded off the east of Kamchatka region on Sunday. GFZ later updated it to magnitude 7.4.

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is located in the Kamchatka region, facing the Pacific, northeast of Japan and west of the US state of Alaska, across the Bering Sea.

The Kamchatka Peninsula is the meeting point of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, making it a seismic hot zone. Since 1900, seven major earthquakes of magnitude 8.3 or higher have struck the area.

On November 4, 1952, a magnitude 9 earthquake in Kamchatka caused damage, but no deaths were reported despite setting off 9.1-metre (30-foot) waves in Hawaii.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has issued a warning for Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula after two quakes — the larger with a magnitude of 7.4 — struck in the sea nearby on Sunday.

The larger quake was at a depth of 12 miles and was 89 miles east of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which has a population of 180,000, according to the US Geological Survey.

A few minutes earlier, a quake with a magnitude of 6.7 was recorded nearby.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued an alert for Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula on Sunday. USGS

The German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) indicated twin earthquakes of over 6.5 magnitude struck near the coast of Kamchatka, in Russia’s far east, early on Sunday.

It measured the quakes at 6.6 and 6.7 and the depth of both at 6 miles.

Measurements of earthquakes often vary in the first hours after they occur.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

On Nov. 4, 1952, a magnitude 9.0 quake in Kamchatka caused damage but no reported deaths despite setting off many 30-foot waves in Hawaii.
