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.

A major earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 initially triggered a tsunami warning for the southern Alaska Peninsula. It was later downgraded to an advisory.

A tsunami warning has been canceled for south Alaska a couple of hours after a 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck on Wednesday. Newsweek's live blog is closed.
