The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a magnitude 5.8 quake in Russia near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, only 12 minutes ago. The earthquake hit around noon on Wednesday, July 30th, 2025, at 12:20 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.A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.8 earthquake as well. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.8.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 Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy (pop. 181,200) located 117 km from the epicenter, Vilyuchinsk (pop. 25,200) 130 km away, Yelizovo (pop. 40,700) 137 km away, and Paratunka (pop. 1,800) 140 km away.VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
