Russia’s Kamchatka is struck by a 7.4 earthquake, although there is little chance of a tsunami.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), a strong 7.4-magnitude earthquake occurred early Saturday off the shore of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia.

The deadly 8.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked the area on July 29 has been linked to the largest aftershock to date. The quake struck around 111 km east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky at a depth of 39 km.

There is no tsunami warning.

There isn’t a tsunami warning in effect right now, according to authorities. After first indicating a possible danger, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center subsequently canceled the notice.

Additionally, the Japanese Meteorological Agency verified that there was no tsunami warning for the country’s coastline.

aftermath of the fatal earthquake in July

One of the strongest earthquakes in modern history, which occurred on July 29, caused tsunami waves that hit Russia’s Rybachiy naval station, which houses the nuclear submarines of the Pacific Fleet. Later, satellite photos revealed damage at the location.

Along Japan’s east coast, which is still scarred from the 2011 tragedy, the earthquake caused evacuations, caused waves as high as four meters, and injured a number of people.

With at least five significant earthquakes registered in July alone, Kamchatka has seen a string of strong tremors this summer. The 7.4-magnitude aftershock on Saturday highlights the continued seismic instability in the area.

Although the most recent earthquake has not yet resulted in any reported fatalities or structural damage, authorities are nonetheless keeping a careful eye on the situation.
