A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake has struck off Russia’s Far Eastern Kamchatka coast, triggering tsunami warnings across the Pacific — from Japan and Hawaii to French Polynesia and even Chile. The shallow quake, the strongest in the region since 1952, caused building damage, minor injuries, and terrifying evacuations. As tsunami waves crashed into the Kuril Islands and reached shores as far as California, Russia’s most active volcano, Klyuchevskoy, erupted—adding lava and explosions to the chaos. Hospitals trembled during surgeries, and entire coastlines were flooded. This powerful event is a chilling reminder of the Pacific Ring of Fire’s raw power.
