Gloomy News August 22nd｜National Oceanic Forecast Station: On August 22, 2025, at 10:16 a.m. (Beijing Time), a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck the Drake Passage (60.17°S,61.72°W) with a focal depth of 51 kilometers. The Natural Resources Department's Tsunami Warning Center judged based on preliminary earthquake parameters that the earthquake may trigger localized tsunamis around the epicenter, but since the epicenter is located outside the Pacific Ocean (601099) range, it will not affect China's coastline. Our center will continue to track and analyze earthquake and tsunami monitoring data, and release information in a timely manner.
