The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 6.1 quake in Russia near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, only 10 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early evening on Sunday, July 20th, 2025, at 6:23 pm local time at a moderately shallow depth of 32. km. 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 German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 6.1 as well.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc. In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy (pop. 181,200) located 138 km from the epicenter, and Vilyuchinsk (pop. 25,200) 152 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
