On June 26, 2026 at 19:56 UTC, a magnitude 4.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 192 km ESE of Ozernovskiy, Russia, at a depth of 30.3 km and coordinates 51.1043°, 159.1886°.
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.
