En Japón, la Agencia Meteorológica alertó que “los tsunamis golpearán repetidamente” y pidió a la población mantenerse alejada de la costa. En Hokkaido se registró una ola inicial de 30 centímetros, y se evacuó preventivamente a los trabajadores de la planta nuclear de Fukushima, arrasada en 2011 por un desastre similar. Algunas líneas ferroviarias fueron suspendidas como medida de precaución. Tras el sismo en Kamchatka: así quedó una playa en Japón antes y después de la evacuación por alerta de tsunami.

En Chile, el Servicio Hidrográfico y Oceanográfico de la Armada evalúa la amenaza de maremoto para la costa de ese país. Ecuador también aparece entre los países que podrían verse afectados por olas de más de tres metros de alto como consecuencia del terremoto frente a la costa de Rusia, informó el Centro de alerta de tsunamis de Estados Unidos.
El presidente chileno, Gabriel Boric, afirmó este miércoles en redes sociales: “Tenemos alerta de tsunami para toda la costa de Chile. El protocolo es evacuar 3 horas antes de la estimación de llegada de la ola. Estaremos informando en detalle los pasos a seguir. Mantengan la calma y solo sigan instrucciones de autoridades”. El mar comenzó a retroceder en Severo-Kurilsk, en Rusia, y dejó al descubierto la destrucción en el puerto tras el tsunami. (Foto: X/@AlertaNews24).
En México, la Marina alertó sobre “corrientes fuertes en la entrada de los puertos” desde Baja California hasta Chiapas, mientras que Protección Civil instó a la población a alejarse de las costas. Estados Unidos activó alertas en toda la franja costera desde Alaska hasta California, incluyendo Hawái.
La alerta de tsunami también rige para todo el litoral de Perú y una advertencia de alta probabilidad para las Islas Galápagos, en Ecuador.
La Dirección de Hidrografía y Navegación de la Marina de Guerra del Perú lanzó la alerta tras realizar varias evaluaciones técnicas del evento sísmico. Aunque no se precisaron las horas exactas de llegada de las olas, se advirtió que el fenómeno podría afectar toda la franja costera del país.
Las autoridades remarcaron que un tsunami no es una ola única, sino una serie de ondas que pueden alcanzar la costa a intervalos de entre cinco minutos y una hora. “El peligro puede persistir por muchas horas después del arribo de la primera onda”, señalaron.

El Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos (USGS) corrigió la magnitud inicial del sismo de 8,0 a 8,8, y lo calificó como el más fuerte en la región desde 1952. Se registraron al menos seis réplicas, incluyendo una de magnitud 6,9. La península de Kamchatka, ubicada en el “Anillo de Fuego del Pacífico”, es una de las zonas sísmicas más activas del planeta.

ICE officers face criminal probe for alleged ‘untruthful statements’ under oath about Minneapolis shooting
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are under criminal investigation after federal prosecutors moved to dismiss felony assault charges against Venezuelan migrants stemming from a January shooting in Minneapolis.
ICE Director Todd Lyons said Friday that newly reviewed video evidence suggests the officers may have made «untruthful statements» under oath about the Jan. 14 confrontation, during which a Venezuelan national was shot, The Associated Press reported. The officers have been placed on administrative leave and could face termination and possible criminal prosecution, according to Lyons and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
«A joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice (DOJ) of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements,» McLaughlin told Fox News Digital in an email. «Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation.»
«Lying under oath is a serious federal offense. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is actively investigating these false statements,» McLaughlin added. «Upon conclusion of the investigation, the officers may face termination of employment, as well as potential criminal prosecution. The men and women of ICE are entrusted with upholding the rule of law and are held to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct. Violations of this sacred sworn oath will not be tolerated.»

The case centered on Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, two Venezuelan nationals initially accused of attacking an ICE officer during what authorities described as a targeted traffic stop.
U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen moved to dismiss the charges, citing «newly discovered evidence» that was «materially inconsistent» with allegations outlined in the criminal complaint and earlier court testimony. A federal judge granted the motion on Friday. In court, video footage and witness testimony reportedly failed to support claims that the ICE agent had been assaulted with a shovel and broom, according to the AP.

According to a previous announcement from DHS, officers attempted to arrest Sosa-Celis on Jan. 14 when he allegedly fled the scene in his vehicle, crashed into a parked car and ran on foot.
DHS said at the time that an agent caught up with him and that Sosa-Celis resisted and assaulted him.
The agency alleged that two additional men — Aljorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledezma — then struck the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle before the agent fired a shot, striking Sosa-Celis in the leg.
All three men were taken into custody after retreating into an apartment, and both the officer and Sosa-Celis were hospitalized, according to authorities.

Starmer sends UK strike group to Arctic, cites rising Russia threat as Trump pushes Greenland deal
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the United Kingdom will deploy its aircraft carrier strike group to the North Atlantic and the High North later this year, marking a show of force as security tensions escalate across Europe.
Speaking on Saturday at the annual Munich Security Conference in Germany, Starmer said the mission would be led by HMS Prince of Wales and carried out alongside the U.S., Canada and other NATO allies.
«I can announce today that the U.K. will deploy our carrier strike group to the North Atlantic and the High North this year, led by HMS Prince of Wales, operating alongside the U.S., Canada and other NATO allies, in a powerful show of our commitment to Euro-atlantic security,» Starmer told the high-profile forum aimed at strengthening European defense and diplomatic ties.

The High North — a term referring to the Arctic and surrounding regions — has become increasingly strategic amid growing Russian military activity.
The deployment is intended to bolster security against potential Russian threats, according to BBC News.
The announcement comes as President Donald Trump has repeatedly reiterated interest in the U.S. acquiring Greenland, citing national security concerns in the Arctic regarding Russia and China.
Starmer warned that Moscow’s military buildup could intensify even if a peace agreement is reached in Ukraine, arguing that Russian rearmament would «only accelerate.»

Europe, he said, must be prepared to «deter aggression» and, if necessary, be ready to fight.
«We must build our hard power, because that is the currency of the age,» he said.
The carrier strike group is an international naval task force led by the Royal Navy. It consists of one aircraft carrier, about 40 aircraft, a frigate, a destroyer, a submarine and a supply ship, according to BBC News.
HMS Prince of Wales, a roughly $3.5 billion aircraft carrier, serves as the Royal Navy’s flagship, BBC News reported.
TROOPS FROM EUROPE DEPLOY TO GREENLAND IN RAPID 2-DAY MISSION AS TRUMP EYES US TAKEOVER

After meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in late January, Trump announced that he would not impose tariffs that were set to take effect Feb. 1 given they formed the «framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region.»
Trump told reporters outside the White House on Friday that the administration is «negotiating right now for Greenland,» adding that, «We get along very well with Europe.»
The president was also asked about the Munich Security Conference.
«If it wasn’t for me, they’d be paying 2% and not paying,» Trump said of NATO allies. «They’re paying 5% and they’re paying. We have a very good relationship with NATO.»
