An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred only 12 minutes ago 113 km southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Russia, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia, early evening on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025, at 7:18 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.3. A third agency, France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.4.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy (pop. 181,200) located 113 km from the epicenter, and Vilyuchinsk (pop. 25,200) 122 km away.
