"Tsunami waves in far-east Russia leave behind destruction after a magnitude 8.8 temblor, one of the strongest earthquakes in recorded history, struck off the country's Kamchatka Peninsula.

"The earthquake, which struck on July 29 and prompted evacuations, generated a tsunami of up to 13 feet in the town, officials said.

"The town and a fish processing plant are partially flooded due to the tsunami, and a kindergarten building was damaged, but no serious injuries were reported, Russia's Ministry for Emergency Services said.

"Drone footage shows the aftermath of the waves after they hit #SeveroKurilsk, a Russian town in the country's Kamchatka Peninsula, north of Japan."
