Tsunami alerts have been issued for Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, Hawaii, the West Coast states of the United States, and Guam following an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the Russian coast.

The seismic event, which occurred about 85 miles “off the coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula,” has resulted in a tsunami warning for the Aleutian Islands and Hawaii, while “California, Oregon and Washington” and Guam have received an advisory, according to ABC News.

An advisory is also in effect for Japan, with “Japan’s meteorological agency” anticipating a tsunami around three feet high to “reach Hokkaido” at approximately 10 a.m., as reported by the outlet:

An advisory was also issued for Japan’s Pacific Coast regions from Hokkaido to Kyushu.

Japan’s meteorological agency cautioned that a tsunami approximately 1 meter (3 feet) high is expected to land in Hokkaido in the north at around 10:00 a.m., local time, with waves projected to reach parts of eastern Honshu and Kyushu in the south later in the day.

Hawaiian warning sirens are scheduled for “4:10, 5:10, and 6:10 p.m.,” with the “earliest arrival of the first wave” anticipated at about 7:17 p.m., according to Hawaii News Now.

In the aftermath of the earthquake off the coast of Russia, a tsunami roughly 13 feet occurred, according to Reuters:

A tsunami measuring 3-4 meters (10-13 feet) was observed in regions of Kamchatka, according to Sergie Lebedev, the regional minister for emergency situations, who urged individuals to distance themselves from the peninsula’s shoreline.

The Weather Channel noted in a post on X that the entire West Coast of the U.S. was under a tsunami watch.

“Please pay attention to warnings and be safe,” Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard wrote in a post on X. Gabbard previously served as a Democrat congresswoman for Hawaii.
