Tsunami Warnings and Impacts: Russia, Hawaii, and Pacific Regions
Satellite images suggest that Russia's Rybachiy naval base, housing its Pacific Fleet's nuclear submarines, was hit by a tsunami triggered by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Kamchatka on July 30, causing structural damage to a pier but with no confirmed damage to submarines. The event occurs amid heightened tensions between Russia and the U.S., with recent U.S. military deployments in response to Russian threats.
