Kamchatka Records 25 Aftershocks, Up to M6.4, With Faster Public Alerts

Scientists attribute the surge to a non‑uniform aftershock sequence from the July 30 M8.8 quake.

Overview

  • Authorities reported one felt event in the latest 24‑hour tally of 25 aftershocks off the peninsula.
  • After brief spikes of 58 quakes on November 3 and 44 on November 4, daily counts eased to 25, according to official data.
  • Seismologists noted a localized activation near Avachinsky Bay and expect bursts to remain at or below roughly magnitude 6.5.
  • Event processing at the PetropavlovskTsunami station now takes 2–4 minutes before data are sent to responders and residents receive SMS alerts.
  • Volcanic unrest has increased, including an ash emission from Krasheninnikov and activity at Klyuchevskoy, Bezymianny, Shiveluch, Karymsky and Kambalny, with an emergency regime in place and warnings to keep clear of the volcanoes.
