Massive Quake Triggers Pacific Tsunami Panic

A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula sent tsunami waves crashing into coastal towns, damaging buildings and forcing evacuations across the Pacific, including Hawaii and Japan. Footage captured medics operating amid tremors, while fishing towns like Severo-Kurilsk were partially submerged. Though serious injuries were limited, a woman in Japan died while evacuating. Officials warn of ongoing aftershocks but no imminent stronger quakes.
