After Russia\u2019s sparsely populated Far East was rattled by one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded in late July, old videos were shared in posts falsely claiming they showed the impact of the tremor. The clips were in fact recorded in March, when Myanmar was struck by a 7.7-magnitude quake.<\/p>\n
“Tonight (July 30), a powerful 8.7-magnitude earthquake struck off the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula, categorised as a ‘very shallow earthquake’,”\u00a0 reads part of the traditional Chinese caption of a Threads clip<\/a> shared on July 30, 2025.<\/p>\n The clip appears to show CCTV footage of the inside of a shop as a tremor hits, sending shelves crashing down.<\/p>\n
