THE REGION SHOOK WITH A MAGNITUDE OF 8.8 LAST JULY
The Kamchatka Peninsula is located in the earthquake zone known as the "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific. The region has been frequently in the news due to large earthquakes recently.
The tsunami waves generated by the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that occurred on July 30 reached not only the Kamchatka coast but also the coasts of Japan and the United States, leading to the evacuation of workers at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
Additionally, just before the 8.8 earthquake, another earthquake measuring 7.6 was recorded in the peninsula.
