Some areas in Russia's port city of Severo- Kurilsk were flooded after a powerful 8.7-magnitude earthquake that triggered a Tsunami on the morning of July 30.

The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations said that the Tsunami hit Russia's Far East coast on July 30, flooding the port town of about 2,000 people.

"Typhoons have flooded parts of the port town of Severo- Kurilsk... People have been evacuated," the Russian Emergency Ministry said.

Russian state news agency TASS reported that several people were injured in the earthquake in the Far East.

"Unfortunately, there were injured people in the earthquake. All patients are in stable condition. There have been no reports of serious injuries," Kamchatka Health Minister Oleg Melnikov said.

Previously, Valery Limarenko - Governor of Sakhalin region in the Far East of Russia - said that the first sunny spells had hit the coastal area of Severo- Kurilsk.

"People are safe in the highlands until the threat of further sunslides is completely lifted," Limarenko wrote on Telegram.

The governor of Kamchatka region in Russia's Far East has urged people not to get close to the coast.

"I urge people to stay away from the coast in areas prone to sunts and follow announcements on loudspeakers," he said.
