This was the moment medics in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia were performing surgery when a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake rocked the building on Wednesday (Jul 30). The quake — the most powerful to hit the region since 1952 — struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula early on Wednesday, triggering tsunami warnings across the Pacific. The region’s health minister, Oleg Melnikov, said, “Despite the danger, the doctors remained calm and stayed with the patient until the very end." #russia #
