On April 23, 2025 at 20:43 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 211 km ENE of Kuril’sk, Russia, at a depth of 131.0 km and coordinates 45.6790°, 150.5035°.
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.
