Tsunami waves have hit parts of Russia, Japan and the United States after a massive earthquake off the Russian coast, with alerts issued for dozens of other countries, including the Philippines and Ecuador.
Potentially hazardous waves were expected across Latin America and numerous Asian and Pacific island states later on Wednesday.
Waves up to 4 metres (13 feet) high have already struck Russia’s far Eastern Kamchatka region, said Sergei Lebedev, the regional minister for emergency situations, following the 8.8-magnitude quake, one of the largest on record.
