2026-06-26 00:02:34 UTC (2026-06-26) · approx. 10:02 AM UTC+10 local
On June 26, 2026 at 00:02 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 153 km S of Severo-Kuril’sk, Russia, at a depth of 48.2 km and coordinates 49.3025°, 155.8707°.
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.
