Dataset at a glance — Russia
Over the past 30 days, Russia has recorded 53 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 8 reached magnitude 5.0 or higher. 44 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. The remaining 1 fell in the M2.5–M3.9 band. By depth: 47 shallow (<70 km), 4 intermediate (70–300 km), 2 deep-focus (>300 km). 27 of the epicenters were offshore. 1 event produced at least one felt report, totalling 1 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Cluster detection flagged 10 aftershock sequences; the largest contained 14 smaller events within 20 km and 72 hours of its mainshock. Focal depths ranged from 10.0 km to 539.3 km. All 53 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
