There was no risk of a tsunami after an earthquake of magnitude 7.4 struck near the east coast of Russia’s Kamchatka area on Saturday, the U.S. National Weather Service’s Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii stated.
The United States Geological Survey pegged the earthquake at magnitude 7.4, with a depth of 39.5 km (24.5 miles).
The German Research Centre for Geosciences had the magnitude at 7.1, with a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles).
