A powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck Russia's Kamchatka region, triggering tsunami warnings across numerous countries, including Japan, the US, and Peru. Millions were evacuated, with Japan ordering nearly 2 million people to higher ground. While some tsunami waves reached Japan's shores, they were less severe than anticipated. In Peru, many ports were closed, and significant evacuations occurred in Chile. As the warnings were lifted, normalcy began to return, though vigilance remains crucial. This incident reminds us of the potential threats posed by natural disasters, emphasizing the need for preparedness.
