- EMSC reported a magnitude 7 earthquake struck Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula
- Emergency alerts for the strong quake were withdrawn minutes later, and officials confirmed no tsunami threat to Hawaii
Why it matters: Kamchatka sits in a seismically active region where major quakes typically trigger trans-Pacific monitoring; the rapid withdrawal of warnings and absent Hawaii tsunami threat confirm the event did not escalate into a broader Pacific-basin hazard.
