S everal earthquakes, including a 7.4 magnitude one, struck off the Russian coast on Sunday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, prompting brief warnings of potential tsunami waves on the nearby peninsula and farther across the Pacific in Hawaii.

A 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit near the Kamchatka coast in eastern Russia. Initial readings reported it as 6.7, but it was later revised to 7.4 by earthquake agencies. Tsunami warnings for Hawaii and Kamchatka were issued and later lifted.

The giant earthquake was recorded at 12:37 p.m. local time, southeast of Sand Point, a community located on Popof Island in the Aleutian Chain.
