Satellite imagery reveals potential damage to Russia's Rybachiy naval base in the Far East following a powerful tsunami triggered by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake. The tsunami, hitting within 15 minutes of the quake, appears to have bent a pier at the base, though the extent of damage remains unclear. Experts caution that there's no evidence of damage to nuclear submarines housed at the base, which are crucial to Russia's Pacific deterrence strategy. The incident comes amidst heightened tensions following comments from a former Russian president.
