Felt by 1 person across nearby locations.
On April 25, 2026 at 09:40 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 35 km NW of Teeli, Russia, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 51.2238°, 89.8293°. This earthquake was detected by 52 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 340, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
The epicenter is located in Russia, a region characterized by the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone on the northwestern Pacific Ring of Fire. The nearest mapped fault system is the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. View all earthquakes in Russia.
