Tsunami waves were possible in three areas of Kamchatka in Russia's Far East, the nation's Ministry for Emergency Services said on August 3 after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the nearby Kuril Islands.

"The expected wave heights are low, but you must still move away from the shore," the ministry said on the Telegram messaging app, after the latest seismic activity in the area.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning System, which gauged the quake at 7.0, said, however, there was no tsunami warning after the quake.
