MOSCOW (AFP) Feb 26, 2004
 A series of five earthquakes measuring up to 5.7 on the Richter scale rocked Pacific waters off Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka peninsula early Thursday, local emergency officials said.

The tremors' epicenter was located some 30 kilometers (20 miles) under the seabed, some 300 kilometers north-east of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, officials quoted by the ITAR-TASS news agency said.

No casualties or damage were immediately reported.
