A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Russia’s Kuril Islands, just a week after the country experienced an 8.8 magnitude quake.

Russia's massive quake has already triggered at least 10 aftershocks, and could continue for months, according to scientists.

An 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, prompting over 90 aftershocks, with magnitudes ranging from 4.0 to 6.7. Tsunami alerts were issued across the Pacific, affecting regions as distant as Hawaii and California.
