2026-07-22 08:10:12 UTC (1 day ago) · approx. 6:10 PM UTC+10 local
On July 22, 2026 at 08:10 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 62 km ENE of Severo-Kuril’sk, Russia, at a depth of 92.5 km and coordinates 50.9529°, 156.9003°.
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.
