RNZ News20 hours ago
Emergency authorities say a tsunami threat to New Zealand from the giant quake off Russia's Kamchatka peninsula is likely to remain in force overnight for the east coast of both the North and South Islands and the Chatham Islands.
NEMA in its latest update says tsunami activity has already reached parts of New Zealand.
It said this was due to rebounding tsunami activity from South America.
It says the threat must be regarded as real until the tsunami alert is cancelled.
