Latest 8.8 magnitude earthquake: Russian volcano erupts, tsunami hits California

A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia’s Pacific coast, triggering tsunami warnings and evacuations along the Hawaiian coast, and alerts were also issued along the U.S. West Coast.

The powerful earthquake, which struck about 85 miles off the east coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, is one of the strongest ever recorded and the largest in the world since 2011 .

An 8.7 magnitude earthquake struck near Russia, triggering tsunami warnings for the West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii.

American influence

In the United States, the initial tsunami waves crashed onto the Hawaiian island of Oahu, forcing people to evacuate.

Authorities urged residents to leave beaches and low-lying areas for higher ground and to take shelter on at least the fourth floor of buildings. As part of a statewide warning system, sirens will sound every 10 minutes across the Hawaiian Islands for three hours before the projected impact.

Hawaii Governor Josh Green told reporters earlier Wednesday that the state “has not seen any serious consequences” and called it “a huge relief.”

Tsunami warnings were also issued for other parts of the U.S. Pacific – coastal areas of Alaska, Oregon, Washington and California – but those have now been lifted.

Tsunami waves were recorded overnight in Monterey and San Francisco, California, but did not cause serious problems.

In California, tsunami warnings were issued for Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, as well as Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Tsunami warnings were also issued for the U.S. territories of Guam and American Samoa, but have since been lifted.

Crescent City, located on the border of California and Oregon, has since lifted all tsunami warnings. It was the last area in the United States to do so on Wednesday morning. Local officials said waves peaked at about 3.5 feet (10 meters) high, and no casualties have been reported so far.

The earthquake also affected travel; Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines resumed flights Wednesday morning after suspending them due to tsunami warnings.

Tsunami warnings and alerts around the world

In Russia, a camera captured the eruption of Klyuchevskaya Sopka, the region’s highest peak, with hot lava flowing down its western slopes.

The earthquake triggered a tsunami warning across northern Japan, forcing the evacuation of more than 2 million people.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency warned that a tsunami of about 3 feet high was expected to hit Hokkaido. The agency later lowered the tsunami alert level to a lower level, but said people still needed to remain vigilant.

Elsewhere in the Pacific, French Polynesia, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, New Caledonia, the Cook Islands, Nauru, Australia and the Philippines issued varying levels of tsunami warnings, as well as advisories predicting strong currents and possible flooding, but these have now expired.

In Central and South America, tsunami warnings or alerts were issued for Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Colombia.

Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano erupts, sending searing-hot ash 11 miles high and causing flight cancellations

Indonesia’s rumbling Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted twice on Monday, sending a column of volcanic materials up to 11 miles into the sky, dumping ash on villages and causing dozens flight cancellations.
No casualties were immediately reported. The volcano on Flores island has been at the highest alert level since an eruption on June 18, and an exclusion zone was doubled to a 4.3-mile radius as eruptions became more frequent.Indonesia’s Geology Agency recorded an avalanche of searing gas clouds mixed with rocks and lava traveling up to 3 miles down the slopes of the 5,197-foot mountain. Observations from drones showed lava filling the crater, indicating deep movement of magma that set off earthquakes.

The initial column of hot clouds that rose just after 11:00 a.m. local time (0305 GMT) was the volcano’s highest since a major eruption in November 2024 that killed nine people and injured dozens, said Muhammad Wafid, the Geology Agency chief. It also erupted in March.

“An eruption of that size certainly carries a higher potential for danger, including its impact on aviation,” Wafid told The Associated Press. “We shall reevaluate to enlarge its danger zone that must be cleared of villagers and tourist activities.”

In a statement, Wafid urged the public and tourists to stay at least four miles from the eruption, remain calm and follow the directions of the local government.

“The public is asked not to believe information from unclear sources,” Wafid said. “In addition, people around disaster-prone areas should be aware of the potential for lava floods if heavy rain occurs.”.

The volcano erupted again just after 7:30 p.m. (1100 GMT), spewing lava and sending clouds of ash up to 8 miles into the air, according to the Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation.

By Monday afternoon, at least 24 flights between Bali and Australia, Singapore and South Korea were cancelled and many others were delayed. Flights on four domestic routes were cancelled, said Ahmad Syaugi Shahab, spokesperson for Bali’s Ngurah Rai international airport.

He said the airport was running normally despite the cancellations, as monitoring showed the volcanic ash had not affected Bali’s airspace.

“Several airlines serving the routes to Labuan Bajo (on Flores), Australia, Singapore, and South Korea have confirmed cancellations and delays,” he said in a statement.

He said the airlines included Virgin Australia, Jetstar Airways and AirAsia Indonesia.

Australia’s Jetstar said several flights were cancelled “due to volcanic ash caused by an eruption of Mount Lewotobi.”

Falling ash after the initial eruption blanketed several villages with debris and blocked sunlight for almost half an hour, Hadi Wijaya, head of the Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation, said in a statement.

He said volcanic materials, including thumb-size fragments of gravel and ash, were thrown up to 5 miles from the crater. He warned residents to be vigilant about heavy rainfall that could trigger lava flows in rivers originating from the volcano.

Photos and videos circulated on social media showed the ash cloud expanding into a mushroom shape as tons of volcanic debris covered houses up to their rooftops in nearby villages. Some residents ran in panic under the rain of volcanic material or fled with motorbikes and cars.

Monday’s eruptions were the result of the accumulation of energy due to a blockage of magma in the crater, which reduced detectable seismic activity while building up pressure, Wijaya said.

The initial eruption was one of Indonesia’s largest since 2010 when Mount Merapi, the country’s most volatile volcano, erupted on the densely populated island of Java. That killed 353 people and forced over 350,000 people to evacuate.

Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 280 million people with frequent seismic activity. It has 120 active volcanoes and sits along the “Ring of Fire,” a horseshoe-shaped series of seismic fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.
