The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 7.7 quake in Russia near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, only 10 minutes ago. The earthquake hit around noon on Saturday, September 13th, 2025, at 1:37 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. 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.
A second report was later issued by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 6.5 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) at magnitude 7.7, and France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 7.1.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been felt by everybody in the area of the epicenter. In those areas, dangerous ground shaking occurred with the potential to inflict moderate to heavy damage to buildings and other infrastructure.
Towns or cities where the quake likely caused strong ground shaking include
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Paratunka (pop. 1,800) located 145 km from the epicenter.
