A strong earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck russia a few days ago. Meanwhile, another powerful earthquake has struck there in the space of a few days. A strong earthquake of about 6.8 magnitude has struck Russia's Kuril Islands. A very big earthquake struck russia a few days ago. This was followed by a tsunami in russia and Japan. Due to this, there was fear among the people in the area. Meanwhile, a very big earthquake has struck russia again. This earthquake that occurred in Russia's Kuril Islands was initially said to be 6.8 on the Richter scale. However, the US Geological survey later reported that the quake had a magnitude of 7. A tsunami warning has been issued following the strong quake.
The quake struck at a depth of 10 kilometres near the Kuril Islands, a volcanic archipelago stretching from Hokkaido, Japan, to the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. However, russia has warned that tsunami waves could hit several coastal areas of Kamchatka. Russian officials said, "We expect the tsunami waves to be low. However, people should not go to the coast. Those living near the coast should immediately evacuate to safe areas." They also said that the possibility of a large Pacific-scale tsunami was low.
At the same time, this series of earthquakes has awakened a long-dormant volcano there. The Krashennikov volcano, located on the Kamchatka Peninsula of russia, has suddenly erupted. The volcano has erupted for the first time in the past 600 years. This has created ash clouds 6,000 meters high. For safety reasons, an "orange" alert has been issued to aviation authorities. This means that continuous eruptions will disrupt air traffic. A few days ago, one of the highest volcanoes in Eurasia, the Klyuchevskoy volcano, erupted following an 8.8-magnitude earthquake near Kamchatka. The volcanic lava flowed. This was followed by another powerful 6.7-magnitude earthquake in the same Kuril region within a week.

Regarding the series of earthquakes, an expert said, "The movement of the Pacific plate is worrying. Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands may face the most damage. More than 80 percent of the world's largest earthquakes occur in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Therefore, residents of high-risk coastal areas nearby should be cautious."
