2025-07-14 23:03:51 UTC (2025-07-14) · approx. 9:03 AM UTC+10 local
On July 14, 2025 at 23:03 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck near Kuril Islands, at a depth of 121.8 km and coordinates 46.7405°, 151.2916°.
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.
