The quake’s epicenter was located about 275 kilometers from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky at a depth of 65 kilometers. There are currently no reports of tremors being felt by residents.
This comes after the strongest earthquake in Kamchatka’s history was recorded at the end of July, with a magnitude of 8.7. That event triggered a tsunami warning in Chile and caused the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano to erupt. Within an hour, eight more earthquakes were detected off the Kamchatka coast.
Following the powerful July 30 quake, the southern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula shifted about two meters to the southeast.
