**Powerful Earthquake Strikes Near Russia’s Kamchatka, Tsunami Threat Recedes**
**MOSCOW** – A significant 7.4-magnitude earthquake rattled Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula early Saturday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The epicenter was located approximately 69 miles (111 km) east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, at a depth of 39 kilometers (24 miles).
While the Pacific Tsunami Warning System initially issued a warning about a possible tsunami, the threat was quickly rescinded and no tsunami warnings are in effect.
Initial reports indicate no immediate reports of injuries or major damage.
The Kamchatka region has experienced heightened seismic activity recently. Just earlier this month, the region was hit by at least five powerful quakes, with the largest measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale. This follows an even larger 8.8-magnitude earthquake days later that triggered tsunami warnings across Japan, the U.S., and Russia. Local authorities are continuing to monitor the situation.
