• Tsunami advisories issued across the Pacific, including Hawaii and Japan, were lifted after waves up to five feet caused moderate coastal flooding in Hawaii.
• Klyuchevskoy volcano near the quake epicenter remains in an eruptive phase, producing lava flows and ash plumes since Wednesday.
• The Alaska Volcano Observatory and USGS have maintained 'Watch' alerts on Great Sitkin and Kīlauea volcanoes due to sustained seismic unrest and volcanic gas emissions.
