The Japanese Ministry of Defense has lifted military aircraft into the sky in order to monitor the tsunami that threatens the country due to the earthquake that occurred in Kamchatka. This was announced on July 30 by the Dmenu Internet portal.

"The Ministry of Defense has sent fighter jets, patrol planes and helicopters [into the sky] over the Pacific Ocean to collect information following a tsunami warning issued in connection with an earthquake near the Kamchatka Peninsula," the publication says.

In addition, information about the delay of at least 16 train flights appeared on the website of the JR East railway operator. The company also announced the cancellation of the night express, as well as some flights in the Kanto and Tohoku regions, which are located on Honshu Island.

Earlier in the day, a tsunami threat was announced on the coast of Avacha Bay in Kamchatka due to a strong earthquake. As a result of a seismic event in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the wall of one of the kindergartens collapsed.
