US EditionPowerful 7.4 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Near the East Coast of Russia’s Kamchatka Region, USGS Says
- On Saturday, September 13, 2025, a powerful earthquake measuring 7.4 in magnitude occurred near the eastern shoreline of Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, according to the United States Geological Survey.
- This earthquake occurred after a much stronger 8.8-magnitude event in July that shook the Kamchatka region of Russia and led to tsunami warnings throughout the Pacific, including Japan and the United States.
- The July quake led to evacuations from Hawaii to Japan, prompted almost two million people in Japan to move to higher ground, and caused emergency measures across Pacific coastal areas.
- The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially indicated that dangerous waves reaching up to one meter could occur near Russian shorelines within 300 kilometers of the earthquake's epicenter, but these alerts were subsequently lowered or canceled.
- Authorities continue closely monitoring the region for tsunami threats, while no immediate damage reports have emerged from Saturday's 7.4-magnitude quake near Kamchatka.
