A 7.2-magnitude earthquake has struck off the east coast of Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula – with a tsunami warning issued.<\/p>\n

The quake was recorded at a depth of around 51km (32 miles), the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre said.<\/p>\n

It struck at 8.10pm UK time, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), around 50 miles from the coastal city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which is said to have a population of more than 150,000 people.<\/p>\n

The US National Tsunami Warning Centre said there was a tsunami threat from the quake.<\/p>\n

The tsunami warning said waves up to a metre above tide level were possible for some coastal areas in Russia but added that impacts were likely to be limited.<\/p>\n
