A violent earthquake of magnitude 8.8 struck Russia's eastern regions overnight, triggering a tsunami alert in the Pacific Ocean from Japan to Ecuador via Hawaii. The first waves, up to four metres high, hit the Kuril Islands, where a state of emergency was declared, and the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. The epicentre of the earthquake, the most violent in the world for more than a decade, was recorded at a depth of 20.7 kilometres and 119 kilometres from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a coastal town of 165,000 inhabitants overlooking Avacha Bay, in the southeastern arm of Kamchatka.
