Significant magnitude 5.2 earthquake 115 km northeast of Kamchatkataagy Petropavlovskaj, Russia 5.2 quake 16 Oct 6:48 pm (GMT +12) A magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Kamchatkataagy Petropavlovskaj, Kamchatka, Russia, was reported only 23 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 61.9 km beneath the epicenter early evening on Monday, October 16th, 2023, at 6:48 pm 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.
A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.5, France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.4, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.2.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
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 Kamchatkataagy Petropavlovskaj (pop. 181,200) located 115 km from the epicenter, and Yelizovo (pop. 40,700) 127 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.
