On April 27, 2024 at 23:04 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 64 km SSE of Ozernovskiy, Russia, at a depth of 88.0 km and coordinates 50.9781°, 156.9188°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
