Tuesday's incident comes on the heels of a 3.0-magnitude earthquake in Bergen County's Hasbrouck Heights Saturday night rattled parts of New Jersey and New York. Satuday night's earthquake was felt up to 65 miles away, in parts of New York's Lower Hudson Valley and western Connecticut.

A 2.7 magnitude earthquake was confirmed in Bergen County on Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 5, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said. The tremor struck at 12:11 p.m. EST about 2 kilometers southwest of Hillsdale,

The massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake that struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula last week has triggered the activity of seven volcanoes in the area, according to the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).

The overnight eruption of the Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka, its first in 600 years, may be connected to the huge earthquake that rocked Russia’s Far East last week, Russia’s RIA state news agency and scientists reported on Sunday.

A Russian volcano erupted for the first time in centuries overnight Sunday, just days after a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast nearby.
