A powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Russia's Kuril Islands, prompting officials to issue tsunami warnings for parts of the Kamchatka Peninsula. While the waves are expected to be small — up to 19 centimeters — emergency services are urging people to stay away from the coastline. This quake follows a massive 8.8 tremor earlier in the week and the historic eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano for the first time in 600 years. Experts say the region remains highly unstable.

00:00A powerful earthquake has just rocked the Pacific Ocean near Russia's Kuril Islands.

00:05And now, Russia's emergency services are sounding the alarm.

00:09Small tsunami waves could soon strike parts of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

00:13Waves up to 19 cm may hit the Aleutian district, 15 cm in Ust-Kamchatsky,

00:19and 3 cm in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

00:22Now you might think, those waves are tiny.

00:25But officials say, stay away from the shore,

00:28because aftershocks can still trigger stronger waves.

00:31This quake comes right after a week of terrifying seismic activity.

00:35Just days ago, a massive 8.8-magnitude quake shook the region.

00:40And for the first time in 600 years, the Krasininikov volcano erupted.

00:45Experts believe the eruption might be linked to the quakes.

00:48And that means, the ground under Kamchatka isn't done shaking yet.
