Dataset at a glance — Russia

Over the past 30 days, Russia has recorded 60 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 10 reached magnitude 5.0 or higher. 50 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 53 shallow (<70 km), 7 intermediate (70–300 km). 36 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 6 aftershock sequences; the largest contained 6 smaller events within 20 km and 72 hours of its mainshock. Focal depths ranged from 8.0 km to 91.0 km. All 60 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.

Leading the list is a magnitude 6.6 event near 133 km ESE of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia at 10.0 km depth, which drew 1 felt report from the public and triggered a green PAGER alert. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 6.0 near 156 km ESE of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, trails by 0.6 magnitude units — a meaningful gap that makes the leader clearly dominant in energy release. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 6.0 earthquake near 111 km SE of Severo-Kuril’sk, Russia.
