Phivolcs cancels tsunami alert
Phivolcs lifted the tsunami alert issued for Philippine coastlines following a magnitude 8.7 earthquake off Russia's far east.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology confirmed that its stations detected no significant sea level disturbances or destructive tsunami waves.
The earthquake, which struck at 7:25 a.m., caused tsunamis across the Pacific and sparked evacuations from Hawaii to Japan.
Earlier, Phivolcs had warned of tsunami wave heights of less than one meter, prompting the interior department to order evacuations from coastal areas facing the Pacific.
The agency stated that any effects from minor sea level disturbances have largely passed and this is the final advisory for the event.
