PETALING JAYA: The Foreign Affairs Ministry has called on Malaysians in Japan to remain vigilant following a tsunami advisory issued after a powerful offshore earthquake near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula early Wednesday morning.

“The Foreign Affairs Ministry, through the Embassy of Malaysia in Tokyo, is closely monitoring the situation following the tsunami advisory issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency on July 30, 2025," it said on Wednesday (July 30).
"At present, there are no reports of Malaysians affected by the incident. However, Wisma Putra advised all Malaysians in the affected areas to prioritise their safety.
“All Malaysians in the affected areas are strongly advised to remain vigilant, adhere to all safety instructions issued by local authorities, and stay informed through official channels.
Malaysians living in or travelling through the impacted regions are also urged to register with the Malaysian Embassy in Tokyo and maintain contact to ensure timely consular assistance if needed.
