A strong earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale struck Russia’s Kuril Islands on Saturday morning. According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake’s epicenter was located 10 kilometers underground in the eastern part of the islands. No immediate reports of casualties or damage have emerged. This comes after a powerful 8.7 magnitude earthquake hit Russia on July 30, triggering tsunami warnings in at least 14 Pacific nations. Waves up to four meters were recorded in Kamchatka during that earlier event.
