China's Ministry of Natural Resources activated a yellow-level tsunami warning on Wednesday following a powerful earthquake in the Russian Far East. The alert covers coastal areas of the Chinese mainland's eastern seaboard, with authorities urging vigilance among maritime operators and coastal communities.
The seismic event, which struck near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, prompted immediate regional coordination. Emergency response teams across the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and East China Sea regions have been placed on standby. Taiwan region's meteorological agency also reported minor sea level fluctuations but confirmed no immediate threat to residents of Taiwan.
While yellow alerts represent the lowest risk level in China's four-tier warning system, officials emphasized the importance of preparedness. Fishermen and shipping companies have been advised to maintain communication with maritime authorities, while coastal tourism operators are reviewing evacuation protocols.
The incident highlights growing regional cooperation in disaster response, with China's National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center sharing real-time data with neighboring countries and regions through established multilateral channels.
