New Delhi, August 3, 2025:
A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck Russia’s Far East earlier today, triggering tsunami alerts across several Asian nations, including India, Japan, and Indonesia. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation as shockwaves from the quake prompted precautionary measures along India’s eastern coastline.
Officials from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have placed states such as Odisha, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu on high alert. Coastal residents are being urged to avoid beaches and adhere strictly to all government advisories, as the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) continues to assess the potential threat.

Dr. Meera Ranjan, a disaster management specialist with the IMD, emphasized, “There is no immediate danger to mainland India according to the current modelling. However, unpredictable aftershocks or distant wave activity mean vigilance remains essential.”
Local authorities have deployed rapid response teams and initiated public alert systems in vulnerable areas. Fishermen have been advised not to venture out to sea until further notice, and emergency shelters are being prepared in case evacuation orders are issued.
