Many of Japan's coastal regions after a strong earthquake near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula Wednesday morning. The Japan Meteorological Agency is calling on people to stay evacuated until all alerts have been lifted.
The magnitude 8.7 quake struck near the peninsula at about 8:25 AM Japan timed. The US Geological Survey says it had a depth of 20.7 kilometers.
The JMA initially announced a tsunami advisory for most of the country's Pacific coast. Many areas were escalated to a tsunami warning at 9:40 AM. Northern Hokkaido down to western Wakayama is still under that warning.
Advisories are still in effect for other regions spanning from Hokkaido to Okinawa. Tsunami started to arrive in eastern Hokkaido around 10:30 a.m. They've since been observed across a broad area of Japan's Pacific coast.
The waves so far have been up to 1.3 meters high.
On the screen, you can see the heights of the tsunami in yellow. the time of impact, as well as the location of impact.
Kuji Port in Iwate Prefecture saw 1.3 meters at 1:52 p.m. Nemuro Hanasaki in Hokkaido saw 80 centimeters.
Also, 80 centimeters for Hachijojima Island, Yaene at 4:19 p.m. 70 meters, 70 centimeters, rather, were seen in Ishinomaki Port, Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai Port, also in Miyagi, as well as Tanegashima Island, Kumano.
NHK has obtained video of a port in Kuji-Iwate Prefecture, where that 1.3 meter high tsunami was observed at 1:52 p.m. It's been sped up, showing the sea level rising significantly between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m., causing boats moored at the port to move. By the end of the hour, the water was almost as high as the road.
The JMA is urging people in coastal areas or along rivers to evacuate to safer areas immediately, and stay there until the alert is lifted, warning there could be long gaps between tsunami crests.

Tsunami waves are still being observed. Each cycle can take about an hour.
Waves may continue for an extended period, and there could be powerful surges that cause further damage.
The agency says tsunami waves are expected to continue for at least a day.
That's based on records of previous quakes of similar scale in the area.
At least one death has been reportedly linked to evacuation efforts. Police in Mie Prefecture say a 58 year old woman was killed when the car she was in fell from a cliffside road. The area was under a tsunami warning. Officials say they believe she was trying to get to a safe zone.

Kushido City in Hokkaido is one of the areas affected by the alerts. People there moved to a park on a hill for safety. One college student says he woke up to see news of the advisory, which has since been upgraded to a warning.
I survived the great East Japan earthquake, so I know how scary its tsunami is. I figured I shouldn't move around until the advisory is lifted, so I decided to stay here.

This is a characteristic, and what we're seeing here is Hanasaki Port at Nemura in Hokkaido around 5 p.m. Yes, we're fast-forwarding, but you can see that the waves are breaking over the keys, and so the sea level is rising, and so there's inundation caused by the sea level rise too. Can you show the live? image right now.
Yes, you can see that the sea level is lower. And you can observe this on the data. At Hanasaki Port, if you look at the tide level data of the port, you can see here. I have to explain this, but this wave, the blue line, shows the tide level. And the smooth green curve, this shows the full tide. Now, if you look at this, shortly around 5:00 PM, it exceeded the tsunami advisory level and reached the warning level. That is as high as the tsunami rose, and now you can see that it's lower. But once again, it seems that the next wave is starting to rise, and therefore, this again will be observed at Hanasaki port, and the same, it could occur again, meaning that the wave breaking over the key. And this is the phenomena that we're seeing right now. The tide level is rising and lowering, so it's up and down. And the same is happening in other areas too, yes, especially in northern Japan. Right now, they are approaching the full tide, and from Tohoku to Hokkaido, well, as we reach the full tide, the tide level will become the highest, and this is Kuji Iwate and Kuji is about to reach the full tide and the 6th wave or maybe the 7th wave of tsunami could hit the area. So if it is at the exactly the same time as full tide, there could be flooding and that is the characteristic of the tsunami this time. So um so if the tsunami should become at the same time as the full tide, it'll become extremely dangerous. So people should not approach the area. And those people have yet to evacuate. Please evacuate before it gets dark, because once it gets dark, it will be difficult to evacuate.
Please evacuate now. That was our reporter, Kiyonaga.
you know To the evacuees, the temperature continues to be high. Please take measures against heatstroke and keep hydrated. Please look after the elderly and small children.

More details are emerging of the impact of the quake and tsunami in Russia's Far East, where there were reportedly waves three to four meters high. Local authorities said tsunami reached up to 200 meters inland, according to Russian media.
Russian state news agency has released footage reportedly provided by the Russian Academy of Sciences.
It shows the aftermath of the quake in Severokurilsk. A town on the island of Paramushir, near the Kamchatka Peninsula. The footage shows water surging across a wide area and flooding buildings. The state-run TASS news agency has also aired the video.
Russian newspaper Ivestia posted this video on social media. It shows damage to a seafood processing facility in Severokurylsk. Buildings and cars along the coast were seen submerged in water. The paper also posted this video seemingly taken inside a house during the initial quake. It shows violent shaking and objects falling and scattering on the floor. The governor of Sakhalin posted this photo on social media. Parts of the ceiling appear to have fallen, with debris scattered across the floor. Reuters news agency released this video of this partially collapsed kindergarten building in the Kamchatka region. Russia's state-run TV says there are no reports of injuries there. A local resident spoke with NHK by phone, describing what she experienced when the quake struck.

I was in the car at the time and I felt a big horizontal jolt. It was like the ground was dancing. I think the shaking continued for about a minute. I was very scared.
She says some people are still frightened because of the ongoing aftershocks. So they're planning to spend the night in their vehicles rather than returning home.
Russian media cite local authorities is saying that the third tsunami that hit Severkurilsk was the most powerful and vessels were swept away. The governor of Russia's Kamchatka region says this was the strongest quake in decades.

We live in a region of seismic activity and danger, and this is not the first experience for us. I'm calling on everyone to stay calm and don't panic. Please only trust official information.
He urged residents to stay away from coastlines, and he added that rescuers and specialists have been deployed.
Now, here in Japan, transportation services have been suspended or delayed due to the tsunami warning. And the impact is being felt along the country's coastal areas from Hokkaido to Wakayama Prefecture.
Trains have been suspended on the Tokaido Line, connecting Tokyo with Kyoto and Osaka, as well as parts of the KQ Line in Kanagao Prefecture.
Rail operators are asking passengers to check official websites for updates.
The suspension of travel services is causing confusion among visitors at key tourist spots.

I was expected to to be able to take at least a taxi or or a bus or even a train, but yeah everything is is closed, so well we'll see if they can open soon.
Ferries have been affected, too. Services connecting Hokkaido and Aomori, as well as Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures, have been suspended. We spoke to Takashi Hiroaki, a professor at Hokkaido University, well versed in earthquakes and tsunami. He stressed the possibility of the threat of tsunami continuing for some time due to the strength of the Northern Pacific quake and its distance from Japan.
In 1952, a huge earthquake with a magnitude of 9 occurred in almost the same place as the recent quake, leading to tsunami battering Japan from Hokkaido to Tohoku.
The maximum wave height was recorded in Hokkaido, more than 10 hours after the first wave arrived. That means people need to stay on the alert for a long time in the aftermath of this quake.

He also pointed out that those who have moved to a safe place may not be able to return home for some time, calling on evacuees to take steps to prevent heat stroke, such as staying hydrated.
The Kamchatka Peninsula has experienced massive earthquakes and tsunamis in the past. The most powerful in recent history struck in November 1952.
According to documents compiled by the Japanese government and experts, The quake had an estimated magnitude of 9.0.
It triggered tsunami around 10 meters high that struck the peninsula as well as the Hawaiian Islands. Large waves also reached Japan's Pacific coast, measuring a meter high in Kuji City in Iwate Prefecture, and 92 centimeters in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture.
Later studies suggested waves more than three meters high hit some parts of northeastern Japan,There were reports of houses being flooded all down the coast, including Hokkaido, Tohoku, and the prefectures of Shizuoka, Mie, and Miyazaki.

DEATH TOLL IN GAZA TOPS 60,000
Health authorities in the Gaza Strip say the death toll has topped 60,000 since fighting between Israeli forces and the Islamic group Hamas began in October 2023 The authorities said on Tuesday that 60,034 people have died in the conflict. They also said nearly 150 people, including 88 children, have died from famine and malnutrition.Gaza faces severe food shortages due to Israeli strikes and restrictions on aid delivery. The Israeli military announced a limited pause in military activity beginning on Sunday. It also said designated secure routes would be in place to enable United Nations and other aid organizations to deliver supplies safely.
Israeli authorities said on Tuesday that over 200 truckloads of aid were distributed the previous day, and that an additional 260 aid trucks entered the enclave. Footage taken by a camera crew at NHK's Gaza office shows people running to gather supplies that were dropped by parachute.
Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu insisted there is no starvation in Gaza.
But Donald Trump has indicated there are plans to set up food centers.

ISRAEL-HAMAS CONFLICT
BRITAIN TO RECOGNIZE PALESTINE STATE IF NO CHANGE IN GAZA
Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Kara Starmer has said the UK will recognize a Palestinian state in September.On this, Israel takes steps to improve the situation in Gaza. His statement makes Britain the second G7 country after France to signal its intention of recognizing a Palestinian state.
I can confirm the UK will recognize the state of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly in September unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire. and commit to a long-term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution.
Starmer added that Israel should allow the United Nations to restart the supply of humanitarian support in Gaza, and by agreeing to a ceasefire with the Islamic group Hamas. He also called on Israel to make clear there will be no annexations in the West Bank.
Starmer said the reason behind the announcement is to ensure that this plays a part in changing the conditions on the ground and making sure that there is hope of a two-state solution for the future. Britain had been taking a cautious stance on recognizing a Palestinian state. The move appears aimed at putting pressure on Israel as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens.

ANA HOLDINGS POSTS RECORD REVENUE FOR APR.-JUN.; PROFIT DIPS
Japanese airline ANA Holdings reported record revenue in the April-June quarter thanks to inbound and outbound travel demand. However, profit dipped due to gains in the yen.ANA on Tuesday reported group revenue in the quarter rose 6.2% year-on-year to 548.7 billion yen, or $3.7 billion. But the airline says the yen's appreciation from the same period last yearEroded net income, which fell 7.1% to less than 23 billion yen or $154 million.
The number of passengers on international flights climbed 9.6%. That reflects demand from foreign visitors, as well as a recovery in the number of outbound travelers from the pandemic slump. Passengers on domestic flights also rose, but ANA says the number of business travelers remains low. at about 70% of pre-COVID levels.
