Tsunami warning LIVE: Tidal waves hit Japan and alerts issued for US after quake
A tsunami has this morning hit coastal areas of Russia and Japan following an 8.7-magnitude earthquake. Warnings have also been issued for other parts of Japan's east coast - and the entirety of US' west coast - after the powerful quake, one of the largest in years. Tsunamis have already struck parts of Russia's Kuril Islands and Japan's large northern island of Hokkaido. A nursery has been damaged, though no significant injuries were reported. Tsunami flooding has damaged the port at Severo-Kurilsk on Russia's Kuril Islands. People on the island state of Hawaii have been evacuated from homes in coastal areas amid fears of tsunamis there. There is concern in the US for several other areas, including San Francisco. People who work on the coast or in the sea should refrain from doing so today - and tourists must avoid the coast at all costs until authorities give further notice. Are you in Japan or on the west coast of the US? Contact webnews@ 05:21Bradley Jolly 'A series of powerful waves' Dave Snider, tsunami warning coordinator with the National Tsunami Warning Centre in Alaska, said he had not heard of any specific reports of damage from the tsunami generated by the 8.8-magnitued earthquake. Forecasted maximum tsunami heights ranged from less than 1 foot to about 5 feet (less than 30 centimeters to 1.5 metres) across parts of Alaska, Oregon, Washington and California, with higher levels projected in isolated areas. The centre said some places could still be feeling impacts from the tsunami for hours or perhaps more than a day. Mr Snider added: "A tsunami is not just one wave. It's a series of powerful waves over a long period of time. Tsunamis cross the ocean at hundreds of miles an hour — as fast as a jet airplane — in deep water. But when they get close to the shore, they slow down and start to pile up. And that's where that inundation problem becomes a little bit more possible there." 05:14KEY EVENT Whales wash ashore in Japan and Russia as a result of the tsunami Whales have died in Japan and Russia as a result of the tsunami. At least five beluga whales have washed up on the shore at a beach in Kamchatka, Russia.

"We want everyone to stay safe. Evacuate early so you don't put yourself in a tough situation," said Honolulu Fire Department Chief Sheldon Hao. The US National Weather Service has warned people against going to the coast to look for tsunami waves. The National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area office posted on X: "This will NOT be a single wave. Do NOT try to go to the coast to take photos." The agency warned people could put themselves and any rescue teams that may be out at risk. The Bay Area is under a tsunami advisory. Communities further north are under a warning. 04:54Bradley Jolly Earthquake largest anywhere since quake in 2011 The quake reached a magnitude of 8.7 and struck about 84 miles east-southeast of Kamchatska. off the coast of Russia, about 7.24pm EST.

While the situation "was under control," they said there are risks of aftershocks, which could last for up to a month, and warned against visiting certain coastal areas. 03:53Bradley Jolly Japanese nuclear power plants stop work Japanese nuclear power plants along the Pacific coasts have suspended their work schedule in response to the tsunami alert, but so far no abnormalities have been reported. Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, which operates the tsunami-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, said about 4,000 workers are taking shelter at higher grounds on the plant complex while monitoring remotely to ensure plant safety. Its release of treated radioactive wastewater into the sea is also temporarily suspended as a cautionary step. 03:50KEY EVENT Photos show aftermath of the tsunami in Severo-Kurilsk, Russia Tsunami flooding has caused major damage in the port area at Severo-Kurilsk, which is on Russia's Kuril Islands.

Japan is fast becoming a favourite among holidaymakers worldwide, and over 437,000 UK visitors flocked there in 2024 alone - the highest number in the last decade. While the number of Brits heading to Japan last year may seem small compared to the whopping 17.8 million who jet off to our favourite holiday destination, Spain, those seeking an authentic adventure and complete cultural immersion are placing the Asian island at the top of their must-visit lists. Japan's tourism industry has been on the rise, and according to the Conde Nast Readers' Choice Awards, it is the best country to visit worldwide. With the current weak state of the Japanese yen, where £1 will get you 188 yen, Japan has become an enticing destination for even budget-conscious travellers, leading to a significant spike in visits. However, the tourism surge has placed strain on Japanese businesses and attractions, which are seeing rises in overcrowding, littering, and inappropriate behaviour. Brits travelling to Japan issued warning about five tourism rule changes 01:50KEY EVENT Tsunami warning for entire west coast of US Tsunami Watch posted for the entire US West Coast, including San Francisco Bay Area.

The Kamchatka Peninsula is a 1,250-kilometre-long peninsula in the Russian Far East, with an area of about 270,000 km². 01:39Bradley Jolly Six earthquakes have now rocked Japan in July alone Shinichi Sakai, a seismologist at University of Tokyo, told Japanese media a distant earthquake could cause a tsunami that affects Japan if its epicenter is shallow. Japan, part of the area known as the Pacific ring of fire, is one of the world's most quake-prone country. Earlier in July, five powerful quakes — the largest with a magnitude of 7.4 — struck in the sea near Kamchatka. The largest quake was at a depth of 20 kilometers and was 144 kilometers (89 miles) east of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which has a population of 180,000. In May, Japan was rocked by a 6.1 magnitude earthquake. The tremor occurred off the cost of Kushiro, at a moderately shallow depth of 44km. 01:36KEY EVENT Hawaii also subject to a tsunami watch The quake was about 250 kilometers (160 miles) away from Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost of the country's four big islands. The US Geological Survey said it hit at a depth of 19.3 kilometers (12 miles). There was no immediate information from Russia about how Kamchatka was affected there. A tsunami watch, which is a relatively low-level warning, has also been issued for Hawaii. 01:29Bradley Jolly Earthquake hit near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula The powerful, magnite 8.0 earthquake hit near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula and issued a tsunami advisory for Japan as a result.

It issued an advisory for a tsunami of up to one meter along the Pacific coast of Japan. But fortunately so far no damage has been reported. The Mirror is monitoring the situation with this live blog. 01:23KEY EVENT Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a tsunami warning Following a magnitude 8.0 earthquake with its epicenter off the eastern coast of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, the Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a tsunami warning for the Pacific coast from Hokkaido to Kyushu. It says; People living in areas where a tsunami warning has been issued should stay away from coasts and river mouths. Please stop work on the coast or in the sea and move away from coasts and river mouths. Do not go out to watch the situation.
