2026-07-11 13:15:58 UTC (2026-07-11) · approx. 11:15 PM UTC+10 local
On July 11, 2026 at 13:15 UTC, a magnitude 4.6 deep-focus earthquake struck near Sea of Okhotsk, at a depth of 423.3 km and coordinates 51.1349°, 151.5331°. This earthquake was detected by 185 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 326, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 120 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 899 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
