A moderately shallow magnitude 6.0 earthquake was reported early morning near Vilyuchinsk, Yelizovsky District, Kamchatka, Russia.
According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the quake hit on Sunday, August 3rd, 2025, at 1:14 am local time at a moderately shallow depth of 35. km. 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 Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) which listed the quake at magnitude 6.1. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 6.0, France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.8, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 6.0.
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 people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Vilyuchinsk (pop. 25,200) located 150 km from the epicenter.
