A powerful earthquake in Russia has triggered a tsunami in Moscow and Japan, triggering three tsunami waves in the Russian port city of Severo-Kurilsk. Authorities say the risk is not over after the first tsunami wave hit Japan. Nearly 2 million people in Japan have been told to evacuate. More than 1.9 million people have been told to evacuate as Japan braces for another tsunami. About 10,500 of them are in Hokkaido, where local media footage showed people gathering on rooftops. Earlier, tsunami waves of up to 3-4 meters (10-13 feet) high were reported in Kamchatka, while waves of up to 30 centimeters (12 inches) high hit the northern Japanese city of Hokkaido. The risk of a tsunami in Japan is not over, according to the BBC. The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a statement saying that a major tsunami could be expected for more than a day after the earthquake in Russia. The official statement said that the tsunami is still being observed, and there is a risk of damage from the tsunami. The tsunami could strike at any time. Please do not leave safe areas until the warning is lifted. Evacuations are underway in Japan, Hawaii and parts of the US West Coast as a tsunami warning has been issued across the Pacific Ocean after an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia’s far east. Tsunami warnings were issued for islands in Russia, Japan, the US, China, Peru and Ecuador following the quake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
