Three powerful earthquakes struck Russia’s Pacific coast near Kamchatka Peninsula within 32 minutes, with the strongest measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) and German monitoring agency GFZ confirmed the tremors, which also included two quakes of magnitude 6.7 and one of 5.0. Following these events, authorities issued a tsunami warning to alert residents of potential coastal dangers in the affected areas.

A fierce wildfire has scorched over 593 acres near Marseille, France’s second-largest city, injuring two firefighters. Around 1,000 firefighters and several helicopters have been deployed to control the blaze. Though the fire is now partly contained due to cooler temperatures and higher humidity, over 150 people were evacuated and 120 homes remain at risk. Meanwhile, in Spain’s Toledo province, wildfires have burned 3,200 hectares. Experts warn that climate change and rising summer heatwaves are increasing wildfire threats across Europe.

Severe flooding in Pakistan’s Punjab province has claimed 63 lives and injured 290 within 24 hours due to continuous heavy rainfall. The National Disaster Management Authority reports most deaths were caused by collapsing homes, electrocution, or drowning. The government declared a holiday in Rawalpindi and urged residents near swollen rivers to evacuate. Punjab’s Chief Minister announced an emergency in several areas, with thousands of rescue workers deployed. The monsoon season has caused widespread disruption, with roads closed and flights canceled.

Seasonal rains and floods in Pakistan have claimed at least 105 lives and injured more than 211 people between June 26 and July 13. Punjab province has been hardest hit, with collapsed buildings, lightning strikes, and flooding causing the majority of casualties. Over 10 kilometers of roads and nine bridges are damaged, while 145 homes were completely destroyed. Authorities are providing emergency medical care and urging the public to stay cautious during the ongoing rainy season.

A strong 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck off the eastern coast of Indonesia’s Maluku province on Monday, according to the US Geological Survey. The quake occurred at a depth of 66 kilometers, about 177 kilometers west of Tual city. Authorities confirmed there was no tsunami threat. No immediate reports of casualties or damages have emerged. Indonesia frequently experiences seismic activity due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Previous quakes in 2018 and 2004 caused devastating loss of life.

In July 2025, Feni district experienced severe flooding following continuous rainfall and upstream surges from India. Floodwaters breached 36 sections of embankments along the Muhuri, Kahuya, and Silonia rivers, primarily affecting Parshuram and Fulgazi upazilas. Over one million residents across 112 villages faced hardships, with thousands taking shelter in relief centers. Significant losses occurred in agriculture, fisheries, and livestock sectors, amounting to several crores. Efforts by local authorities and volunteers continue as waters gradually recede, but food and safe water shortages persist.

Floodwaters are gradually receding in Feni and Noakhali, bringing some relief, but thousands remain stranded and extensive damage has surfaced. In Feni, embankments are still breached and key areas remain waterlogged. The government plans to assign the army to build flood control dams worth BDT 7,340 crore. In Noakhali, over 192,000 people are still affected. In Pirojpur's Bhandaria, farmlands and homes have suffered damage. Authorities continue rescue and relief operations amid hopes for improvement with no heavy rain forecast.

A portion of the embankment on the Majutkhali River in Abhaynagar, Jashore, has collapsed due to continuous rainfall, raising flood fears among residents of Digholiyarabad, Nalamara, and Joyarabad villages. Locals have placed soil bags and bamboo fencing as a temporary fix, but a permanent solution is urgently needed. Hundreds of homes, fish farms, and farmlands remain at risk. A memorandum has been submitted to local authorities demanding long-term embankment repairs using geo-bags or CC blocks.

Floodwaters from upstream have newly inundated parts of Chhagalnaiya, Feni Sadar, and Daganbhuiyan upazilas in Feni district, affecting 114 villages. One man died in Phulgazi while fishing during the floods. Though rain has stopped, water continues to flow in through breached embankments. Thousands remain stranded, with over 9,200 people sheltering in relief centers. Army, BGB, police, and volunteers are engaged in rescue and relief efforts. Locals say this is a repeat of 2024’s devastation, and they fear more hardship amid ongoing damage and waterlogging.

Heavy monsoon rains and river erosion have triggered fresh flooding in Feni, submerging villages and damaging embankments at 15 points. Over 27 villages are affected, and water levels in rivers like the Muhuri have crossed danger marks. Roads, schools, and fish farms are inundated, while relief efforts are underway. Experts blame poor embankment maintenance. There is an urgent call for coordinated action, emergency shelters, food, and medical aid. The government is urged to take proactive steps before the situation worsens.

Continuous rainfall and upstream surges have flooded over 100 villages in Feni after river embankments broke, while water from the Teesta and other northern rivers is rising rapidly. Crops across 21 districts have been submerged, affecting over 72,000 hectares of farmland. Military rescue and relief operations are underway in the worst-hit areas. Coastal districts like Bagerhat are also experiencing severe waterlogging. Authorities expect slight improvement as rainfall decreases, but vulnerable areas remain at risk of further flooding and damage.

Continuous rains and flash floods have submerged thousands of hectares of char land in Comilla’s Gomati River area, destroying farmers’ crops just days before harvest. Despite water levels remaining below the danger mark, rising floodwaters have inundated agricultural fields and homes between embankments, causing heavy losses. Farmers, many already affected by last year’s floods, are struggling to recover as their vegetables and produce lie underwater. Authorities are assessing the damage and seeking government aid for the affected farmers.

Amid flash floods triggered by heavy rain and upstream water flow, Feni district has opened 153 shelters and launched a 24/7 control room to assist affected residents. Authorities have allocated cash, dry food, and rice for relief. Several embankments have broken, flooding villages in Phulgazi and Parshuram. Over 2,500 volunteers are on standby, and dozens of families have already taken refuge. Rivers Muhuri and Silonia are flowing above danger levels, and more heavy rainfall is expected until July 12.

A powerful eruption from Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki on Indonesia’s Flores Island sent ash 18 km into the sky, disrupting air travel and affecting nearby villages. At least 24 international and domestic flights, including those between Bali, Australia, Singapore, and South Korea, were canceled. No casualties have been reported, but authorities recorded gas clouds with rocks and lava stretching 5 km. Officials warn of increased risks and may revise safety guidelines. Sunlight was briefly blocked in nearby areas due to heavy ashfall.

Following nearly 1,600 earthquakes since June 21, residents of remote southern Japanese islands have been evacuated due to safety and psychological concerns. Akuseki Island, the most affected, saw over half its population relocated. Experts suspect underwater volcanic activity is triggering the ongoing tremors, which have created widespread anxiety. Local authorities remain uncertain about when the seismic activity will stop. Japan, one of the most earthquake-prone nations, typically experiences about 1,500 earthquakes annually, but the current swarm is unusually intense and prolonged.
