An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred only 13 minutes ago 127 km southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Russia, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 28. km beneath the epicenter near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia, early morning on Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025, at 2:29 am 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 German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1.
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 127 km from the epicenter.
