According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the epicenter of this shallow quake was 119 km (74 miles) east-southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and 19.3 km deep.

This powerful seismic event, which went down as the sixth largest/strongest earthquake, instantly set off alarm bells for a potential tsunami. Warnings were issued for Russia, Japan, the United States including Hawaii, Alaska, and the West Coast, French Polynesia, Chile, and Colombia.
