A massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake has struck off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, shaking buildings, sending residents fleeing into the streets, and sparking tsunami warnings across the Pacific. Caught on camera, homes, streetlights, and even airport terminals were seen swaying during the violent tremors.
Tsunami alerts were issued for parts of Russia, Alaska, and other Pacific regions — though authorities in Hawaii and Japan later confirmed no major threat. This quake is believed to be an aftershock of the 8.8 quake that rocked the same region just weeks earlier.
Why is this area so active? Kamchatka lies on the Ring of Fire, one of the world’s most dangerous earthquake zones. Experts warn more aftershocks could follow.
Watch the full video to see the stunning footage and learn how this seismic event unfolded — and what it means for people living near the Pacific coast.
