At 11:24 am local time on July 30, 2025, a powerful earthquake struck offshore of the Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering a tsunami in the Pacific Ocean.

The Krasheninnikov Volcano erupted on Sunday, Aug. 3, marking the volcano's first eruption in 600 years. The eruption may be linked to the massive earthquake that hit Russia less than a week earlier and caused tsunami warnings in multiple countries.
