A strong earthquake struck Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka region, the regional governor said on Friday, prompting a series of tsunami warnings in the region, but there were for the moment no reports of damage.<\/p>\n

The US Geological Survey said the quake was measured at a magnitude of 7.8 and at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles). It said a series of aftershocks followed, measuring up to 5.8.<\/p>\n

Russia’s Emergencies Ministry said the quake had a magnitude of 7.2.<\/p>\n

Governor Vladimir Solodov said all emergency services had been placed in a state of high readiness, but no damage had been reported. A tsunami warning was issued for the eastern shore of the peninsula, jutting far out into the Bering Sea and Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

He said tsunami waves ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 metres (1.6 to 4.9 feet) were expected at various points along the coast and warned people to stay away from coastal areas.<\/p>\n

“This morning is once again testing the resilience of Kamchatka residents,” Solodov wrote on the Telegram messaging app. “Immediately after the earthquake, we began a rapid inspection of social institutions and residential buildings.”<\/p>\n

A tsunami warning was also issued for parts of the Kuril island chain, north of Japan, the Emergencies Ministry said.<\/p>\n

The US National Weather Service and Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued a tsunami advisory for parts of Alaska following the quake, warning of strong currents, and a forecast of waves of up to 3 metres for parts of the Kamchatka coast.<\/p>\n

Kamchatka is located in a highly seismic area and at least two quakes with a magnitude greater than 7 have occurred in the past week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
