One of the world’s strongest earthquakes struck Russia’s Far East early on Wednesday (July 30, 2025), an 8.8-magnitude trembler that caused a tsunami in the northern Pacific region and prompted warnings for Alaska, Hawaii and other coasts south toward New Zealand.
Several people were injured, but none gravely, and no major damage has been reported so far.
