A powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 struck off the far eastern coast of Russia early Sunday, near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Fortunately, there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Kabul24: The quake triggered a tsunami warning, initially indicating hazardous waves could affect coastlines within a 300-mile radius. However, this warning was later lifted, with minor sea level fluctuations expected in nearby areas for several hours.
The earthquake occurred at a depth of 18 miles (29 kilometers), approximately 63 miles (102 kilometers) east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a port city with over 181,000 residents, surrounded by volcanoes and near a significant Russian submarine base.
