Santiago, Jul 30 (AP) Chile has elevated its tsunami alert to the highest level early on Wednesday, affecting most of its extensive Pacific coastline following a significant earthquake. Chile's national emergency service has begun evacuating hundreds of individuals from coastal regions. The Education Ministry has also suspended classes in numerous coastal areas. Early Wednesday, one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded hit Russia's sparsely populated Far East, leading to tsunami waves reaching Japan, Hawaii, and the U.S. West Coast. Although several people sustained injuries, they were not serious, and there have been no substantial reports of damage so far. (AP) NPK NPK
