Peru issued a tsunami warning on Tuesday after an 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off Russia’s far east coast, according to the navy.
“After an analysis and evaluation by the National Tsunami Warning Center, it has been determined that this event generates a tsunami warning for the Peruvian coast,” the Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation of the Peruvian Navy said in a statement, adding that the situation “will be kept under constant surveillance.”
