On July 31, 2025 at 23:21 UTC, a magnitude 4.2 intermediate depth earthquake struck 80 km ESE of Ozernovskiy, Russia, at a depth of 74.3 km and coordinates 51.2059°, 157.5620°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 30 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 476 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
