Dataset at a glance — Kyrgyzstan

Over the past 30 days, Kyrgyzstan has recorded 6 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 6 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 5 shallow (<70 km), 1 intermediate (70–300 km). 3 of the epicenters were offshore. 1 event produced at least one felt report, totalling 2 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Focal depths ranged from 10.0 km to 119.6 km. All 6 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.

Leading the list is a magnitude 4.4 event near 48 km NNE of Sarykemer, Kazakhstan at 10.0 km depth. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 4.4 near 59 km ENE of Kyzyl-Eshme, Kyrgyzstan, trails by 0.0 magnitude units — a narrow gap, indicating two comparably energetic events in the current window. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near 69 km SSE of Karakenja, Tajikistan.
