00:00A massive magnitude 7.8 earthquake has just rocked Russia's Far East,
00:04and it was powerful enough to trigger tsunami alerts across the Pacific.
00:08This quake struck off the coast of Kamchatka,
00:11a region already known for its intense volcanic activity.
00:14And here's the twist. This wasn't even the main event.
00:17According to the U.S. Geological Survey,
00:20it was actually an aftershock of a huge quake that hit the same region back in July.
00:25It happened at a shallow depth of just 10 kilometers,
00:28the kind of quake that can cause real surface-level chaos.
00:32People captured footage of cars shaking, furniture clattering, and alarms blaring.
00:36Emergency teams were put on high alert immediately,
00:39with the governor confirming inspections of homes and public buildings started right away.
00:44Small tsunami waves, between 30 to 62 centimeters, were detected,
00:48and Alaska even received a tsunami alert, which was later lifted.
00:53Thankfully, no major injuries or damage have been reported.
00:56But in a place already on edge, this quake is a chilling reminder.
00:59The earth beneath Kamchatka isn't done rumbling just yet.
