It’s just after 1pm in the UK, around 12 hours since the 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck in Russia’s far east.<\/p>\n

Here’s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

‘Not seen a wave of consequence’<\/b><\/p>\n

After initial fears of the severity of tsunamis triggered by the massive earthquake – the sixth-biggest on record – many countries are now downgrading their warnings and alerts.<\/p>\n

Fears of massive waves destroying coastal regions have not manifested in many areas.<\/p>\n

Parts of Russia, especially the Kamchatka Peninsula, where the epicentre was, and the nearby Kiril Islands, were badly hit and saw some injuries, with four-metre waves hitting the land.<\/p>\n

But regional authorities in both areas have since downgraded the tsunami warnings.<\/p>\n

In the US, the first tsunami waves hit Hawaii around 7am UK time, later hitting California and Washington state.<\/p>\n

However, around an hour later, Hawaii’s governor said the island state had “not seen a wave of consequence”.<\/p>\n

The evacuation was later lifted, but officials were quick to urge people to remain cautious and not assume all danger had passed.<\/p>\n

Fukushima nuclear plant evacuated<\/b><\/p>\n

Japan and the Philippines both issued tsunami warnings as well.<\/p>\n

Japan suffered a major nuclear accident after a 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami led to more than 18,000 deaths and nuclear waste being leaked into the water.<\/p>\n

Operations in the country’s nuclear plants along its Pacific coast were suspended and the Fukushima plant – badly hit in 2011 – was evacuated, but the international nuclear watchdog confirmed it had no reports of damage and Japan has since lifted all its tsunami warnings.<\/p>\n

The Philippines has also eased its alerts.<\/p>\n

Outside of Russia, there have been no reports of injuries.<\/p>\n

‘Precautionary measure’<\/b><\/p>\n

While it seems the worst has passed for many, officials in multiple countries were quick to urge people not to assume there was no longer any danger. <\/p>\n

Similarly, some low-lying islands still face a threat from the tsunami.<\/p>\n

French Polynesia authorities warned that the Marquesas Islands could see four-metre waves and that they had put soldiers on alert as a “precautionary measure”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
