A 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit off Russia’s Kuril Islands on Wednesday, the US Geological Survey said, prompting a tsunami warning that was later cancelled.
The quake hit at a depth of 59km (37 miles), around 1,400km north-east of the Japanese city of Sapporo, USGS added. There were no early reports of casualties.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre initially said hazardous tsunami waves were possible within 1,000km of the quake’s epicentre. It said earthquakes of this strength in the past had caused tsunamis far from the epicentre.
But later it said “only very small tsunami waves were generated by this earthquake and there is no further threat”. 7.5 earthquake, 219km SSE of Severo-Kuril'sk, Russia | March 24, 2020 | Tsunami Alert CA WA BC AK
