, following the 8.8-magnitude earthquake recorded off the southern coast of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula.
On July 29, 2025, at 6:24:56 p.m. local time (11:24:56 p.m. UTC), a seismic event was recorded 133 kilometers southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, at latitude 52.20 and longitude 160.00, with a magnitude of 8.8 and a depth of 74.00 kilometers, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
Following an analysis and assessment by the DHN's National Tsunami Warning Center, the "tsunami alert along the Peruvian coast has been canceled. The event will remain under constant monitoring."
Shortly after the cancellation was issued, a message from the Emergency Early Warning Messaging System (SISMATE), labeled message 30-07.2025 at 9:06 p.m., was sent to inform the population of the new measure.
Authorities in coastal towns along the Peruvian shoreline activated their emergency protocols.
In some cases, vulnerable populations were evacuated to safe areas.
Wave train
The arrival of the wave train began at 11:50 a.m. and continued past 2:00 p.m.
According to the technical-scientific authority, tsunami alerts are canceled once sea levels return to normal, as confirmed by data from tide gauge sensors installed along the coast. Based on this data, there is no longer a tsunami risk for the Peruvian coast.
The National Institute of Civil Defense (INDECI) is urging the public to pay close attention to information and recommendations from the authorities and technical-scientific institutions such as the DHN, as well as from emergency operations centers (COEs).
Monitoring
The National Emergency Operations Center (COEN) continues to monitor the Peruvian coastline and coordinate with the Disaster Risk Management Offices of local governments to ensure appropriate response actions in case of any emergency.
During the
press conference held at the conclusion of the Council of Ministers session on Wednesday, Defense Minister Walter Astudillo announced that in the coming hours, authorities would assess whether the tsunami alert could be lifted, depending on whether sea conditions return to normal.
Meanwhile, the DHN has warned of the arrival of abnormal waves along the Peruvian coast from August 1 to 3.
It also urges authorities and citizens to take preventive measures to avoid accidents and material damage.
