An earthquake of magnitude 6.1 occurred only 17 minutes ago 143 km southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Russia, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 6.50 km beneath the epicenter near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia, early evening on Wednesday, July 30th, 2025, at 6:58 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), which listed it as a magnitude 5.6 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.6, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.6.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Vilyuchinsk (pop. 25,200) located 134 km from the epicenter, Paratunka (pop. 1,800) 142 km away, and
