On June 9, 2025 at 20:26 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 intermediate depth earthquake struck 101 km NE of Yelizovo, Russia, at a depth of 117.9 km and coordinates 53.8723°, 159.3999°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 655 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
