The National Tsunami Warning Center says while a tsunami advisory is in effect for the Aleutian Islands and Amchitka Pass off Alaska’s coast, no other areas of the Pacific coast of B.C. or the United States face a threat.

It says that while there is a risk of a tsunami close to the source of the quake, it is too early to say if Hawaii is threatened.

The quake struck off the east coast of Kamchatka, at a depth of about 10 kilometres.

It comes about seven weeks after much of the B.C. coast was placed under a tsunami advisory following a massive 8.8-magnitude tremor in the same area off Russia, one of the eight most powerful earthquakes recorded since 1900.

This report by The Canadian Press was first reported Sept. 18, 2025.
