The latest quake follows an 8.8 magnitude earthquake near the Kamchatka coast on Wednesday, which sparked a Tsunami that triggered emergency declarations in both Russia and the U.S.

Russia's emergency services ministry has warned that smaller tsunami waves could hit three districts of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

A significant earthquake, initially reported at a magnitude of 6.7, struck Russia's Kuril Islands. The magnitude was later updated to 7 by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Pacific Tsunami Warning System.
