Chile issues red tsunami alert due to strong earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. Following a strong earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on the 30th, Chile's National Center for Disaster Prevention and Response issued a red tsunami alert that day, urging residents in coastal areas to evacuate to safe areas. According to the center's announcement, the entire Chilean coastline, from the northernmost regions of Arica and Parinacota to the southernmost Magallanes-Chilean Antarctic Region, could be affected. Tsunami waves are expected to reach Easter Island, the country's westernmost point, at 11:25 a.m. local time on the 30th (11:25 p.m. Beijing time on the 30th). Chilean President Boric posted on social media that day that the first wave of a tsunami is usually not the most destructive, and urged the public to follow government instructions and remain calm.
