Russia was shaken near Beringovskiy, Chukotskiy Avtonomnyy Okrug, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 only 10 minutes ago, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 28. km beneath the epicenter near Beringovskiy, Chukotskiy Avtonomnyy Okrug, Russia, in the morning on Monday, May 12th, 2025, at 9:49 am local time. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 5.3 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.5, France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.3, and The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) at magnitude 5.3.
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 should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many
