Buildings along the coast of the small Russian town Severo-Kurilsk were washed inland by tsunami waves on the morning of Wednesday, July 30. The flooding follows an 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula on Tuesday night.
Eyewitness video, verified by Reuters, shows buildings and debris washing inland in Severo-Kurilsk, which has a population of around 2,400, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
The strong earthquake was recorded at 7:24 p.m. ET on July 29, about 78 miles southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, according to the USGS.
Drone footage from the same town also shows a bird's-eye view of waves from the tsunami.
No deaths have been reported, as of July 30. However, a wall did collapse at a kindergarten building in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Several people there sought medical assistance, the Russian news agency Tass reported.
