A 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit off the eastern coast of Russia’s Kamchatka region, with a depth of 51 km (32 miles), as reported by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). The U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center indicated a potential tsunami threat following the quake. However, Russia’s emergency ministry in Kamchatka stated that there was no tsunami danger, noting that the aftershocks ranged from 3.9 to 5.0 in magnitude, with most being imperceptible, according to their update on Telegram.

Earlier this month, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck off Taiwan’s east coast, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The tremor, which was felt in the capital Taipei, occurred at 7:35 am (2335 GMT) near Hualien at a depth of 15 kilometers (about nine miles), a location previously impacted by a significant earthquake in April.

Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration initially reported the quake as a 6.3 magnitude and issued a mobile alert advising people to stay calm and seek cover. In Hualien, two individuals trapped in elevators were rescued by local fire services, while the National Fire Agency confirmed no major damage and that the island’s transportation systems, including high-speed trains, rail, and metro, continued to operate normally.

Despite this, the government called for continued caution following a 5.4 magnitude earthquake that had earlier triggered an alert.
