A shallow magnitude 4.8 earthquake was reported in the evening near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Saturday, August 27th, 2022, at 8:20 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.8 as well. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.8.
