A volcano in eastern Russia erupted for the first time in 475 years, prompting a tsunami warning. The Krasheninnikov volcano in Kamchatka became active days after one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded hit the region.

A powerful earthquake that struck off the coast of Russia has generated tsunami warnings and advisories for a broad section of the Pacific, including Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast

Tsunami alerts were issued for Alaska and Hawaii on Tuesday after a major, 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Russia, according to officials.
