So far, we have received 3 reports for this quake from Russia. The quake was reported to have been felt in up to approx. 100–110 km (62–68 mi) distance.Most reports came from Vilyuchinsk (1 report), a town with 25,000 inhabitants in Kamchatka in 108 km (67 mi) distance northwest of the epicenter, Russia, and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy (1 report) (104 km or 65 mi to the northwest), a city with more than 180,000 inhabitants. Further below is a list of places where most people reported this quake.This section is being updated as new data comes in.User reports estimate the perceived ground shaking intensity according to the MMI (Modified Mercalli Intensity) scale.Translate102.5 km NW of epicenter [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) (reported through our app)104.2 km NW of epicenter [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) / rattling, vibrating / 10-15 s107.9 km WNW of epicenter [Map] / Weak shaking (MMI III) (reported through our app)List of cities/places with most reportsPlaceDistance from epicenterAverage reported Shaking IntensityNr. of reportsVilyuchinsk, Kamchatka, Russia(Pop.: 25,204)108 km (67 mi)NW of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, Kamchatka, Russia(Pop.: 181,216)104 km (65 mi)NW of epicenterIII: Weak shaking1Note: Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (3 in total) could be used for statistics.What is Intensity and the Mercalli Intensity Scale?The amount of shaking that occurs on the surface due to an earthquake is called the intensity. It is commonly measured on the so-called Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) ranging from 1 (not felt) to 10 (extreme shaking), and given in Roman numerals as I,II,...IX, X, and often displayed with color codes ranging from light blue to dark red.Earthquake intensity depends mainly on the magnitude and depth of the quake as well as the distance from the epicenter: The further away, the less shaking intensity occurs.Read more about the MMI scale!Number of reports by intensityShaking intensityNumber of reportsMin-Max distance from epicenter (*)Average distance (*)III: Weak shaking3102–108 km (64–67 mi)105 km (65 mi)Notes(*) Reports are filtered to exclude those that are likely highly inaccurate or esaggerated.Only reports with latitude/longitude coordinate positions given (3 in total) could be used for geographic statistics.I didn't feel itI felt this quakeIf you were near the epicenter and felt it, please share your experience and submit a short "I felt it" report! Other users would love to hear about it!If you did NOT feel the quake although you were in the area, please report it as well! Your contribution is valuable to earthquake science and seismic hazard analysis.Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data. It takes normally up to a few hours until earthquake parameters are calculated with near-optimum precision.MagDepthTime GMT2025-11-4EpicenterAgency5.140 km25 mi05:14:51.9±0.83sOFF EAST COAST OF KAMCHATKAEpicenter uncertainty: ± 19 kmEMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre)5.541 km25 mi05:14:42.98189 km from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy88 km (55 mi) epicenter difference with EMSCKB-GS-RAS (Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Sciences)5.39± 0.2610 km6.2 mi(*)05:14:46.5±0.47sOff East Coast of Kamchatka23 km (14 mi) epicenter difference with EMSCEpicenter uncertainty: ± 7.4 kmGFZ (German Research Centre for Geosciences)5.410 km6.2 mi(*)05:14:46Off East Coast of Kamchatka23 km (14 mi) epicenter difference with EMSCRaspberryShake (RaspberryShake)Notes:(*) A depth given as 10 km often means that the the depth of the quake could be not determined with sufficient accuracy.Earthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 388 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.1 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 9.7 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.82 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1.2 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 14.6 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 181 quakes per year (or 15.1 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 289 quakes per year (or 24.1 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 344 quakes per year (or 28.7 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 352 quakes per year (or 29.4 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 8 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 60 to 65 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeThe earthquake occurred 29 minutes after a magnitude 5.5 earthquake had hit on Tuesday, Nov 4, 2025, at 03:45 pm (GMT +11 local time) in 48 km (30 mi) distance to the east:Mag. 5.5 earthquake North Pacific Ocean - Kamchatka, Russia - The largest quake near the epicenter of this quake during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 8.8.
