Here's a news digest covering recent events:

Earthquake in Russia

A powerful earthquake struck off the coast of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula recently. The earthquake, which occurred on Wednesday, registered a magnitude of 8.8, making it the strongest tremor to hit the region since 1952. The earthquake triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific, reaching as far as Japan, Hawaii, Alaska, and the entire U.S. West Coast. While the expected wave heights were low, authorities urged residents in affected areas to move away from the shore as a precaution. Following the initial quake, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit the nearby Kuril Islands on Sunday, prompting another tsunami warning. Additionally, the Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka erupted for the first time in 600 years. Scientists are investigating whether the volcanic eruption is connected to the recent seismic activity.

Indian Family Found Dead in US

In tragic news, four Indian-origin senior citizens who had been missing for several days were found dead in a car crash in the United States. The family, identified as Dr. Kishore Divan, Asha Divan, Shailesh Divan, and Gita Divan, had been traveling from Buffalo, New York, to West Virginia. They were last seen on July 29 at a Burger King in Erie, Pennsylvania. Their vehicle, a light green Toyota Camry, was discovered off a steep embankment along Big Wheeling Creek Road in Marshall County, West Virginia, on Saturday night. Emergency responders spent over five hours at the remote location. Sheriff Mike Dougherty expressed his condolences to the family and stated that the cause of the crash is under investigation. Dr. Divan was an anesthesiologist in Williamsville, New York, and was affiliated with Kaleida Health-Buffalo General Medical Center. Tributes have poured in for the family, who were active members of their community.
