An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred only 12 minutes ago 112 km southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Russia, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 40. km beneath the epicenter near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia, in the evening on Monday, July 21st, 2025, at 9:18 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.
A second report was later issued by France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), which listed it as a magnitude 5.0 earthquake. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.2.
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 112 km from the epicenter, Vilyuchinsk (pop. 25,200) 118 km away, and Paratunka (pop. 1,800) 129 km away.
