4.7 quake 21 Aug 10:56 am (GMT +8)

A magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Kurumkan, Kurumkansky District, Buryatiya Republic, Russia, was reported only 16 minutes ago by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Sunday, August 21st, 2022, at 10:56 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.7 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.1, and France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) 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 Kurumkan (pop. 5,800) located 66 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Severobaykal'sk (pop. 25,800) located 115 km from the epicenter, and Severobaykal’sk (pop. 25,800) 115 km away.
