Overview

• USGS placed the epicenter about 128 kilometers east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and initially measured a shallow depth near 10 kilometers.
• Pacific tsunami centers issued alerts for the Kamchatka coast, and U.S. agencies flagged the western Aleutians, with advisories later reduced or lifted after wave checks.
• Kamchatka’s governor Vladimir Solodov put emergency services on high alert, urged residents to avoid shorelines, and reported no confirmed casualties or major damage.
• Early estimates varied across agencies, with Russian services reporting lower magnitudes and greater depths than the USGS.
• Residents shared videos of strong shaking as authorities continued to track aftershocks in the ongoing post‑July seismic sequence.
