Powerful Quake Hits Russia’s Kamchatka, Triggers Tsunami across Pacific
　　An 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula on the morning of July 30 local time, triggering a tsunami that flooded parts of the port town of Severo-Kurilsk, home to about 2,000 residents. Russian emergency officials confirmed evacuations after waves up to four meters were recorded in some areas.

　　The quake, the strongest in Kamchatka since 1952, caused power outages and phone service disruptions in the regional capital, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Local reports described residents fleeing without shoes or coats. The tsunami warning extended across the Pacific, with Japan ordering the evacuation of over 1.9 million people and the American state of Hawaii issuing alerts. Waves of about 1.3 meters reached Japan’s Iwate Prefecture. This was the most powerful global earthquake since the 2011 9.0-magnitude event in northeastern Japan, making it the sixth strongest ever recorded.

根據俄羅斯科學院遠東分院火山和地震研究所，堪察加半島此起規模 8.8 的強震引發該地區七座活山活動，這是將近三百年以來該地區首次有七座火山在地震後同時噴發。俄羅斯科學院遠東分院火山和地震研究所所長奧澤羅夫形容這種情形為一次「極為罕見的現象，可描述為火山成群結隊噴發」。（資料來源：中央通訊社）
