DFA: No Filipino hurt in wake of Russia earthquake
No Filipinos were reported injured or killed following an 8.8-magnitude earthquake that triggered tsunami threats along Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
The DFA confirmed that all seven Filipinos residing on the eastern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula are safe, as verified through their embassy in Moscow and consulate in Vladivostok.
Tsunami alert levels have since been lowered or lifted in affected countries, easing concerns for the public.
The DFA also took the opportunity to remind Filipinos residing abroad to heed advisories from Philippine embassies concerning tsunami alerts in their respective locations.
The department is continuously monitoring the situation of an estimated 10 to 12 million Filipinos worldwide, including those in Hawaii, New Zealand, and the West Coast of the United States.
