Russian Nuclear Submarine Base Was Damaged in Quake, Satellite Images Show

KAMCHATKA PENINSULA, RUSSIA, AUG 4 – Satellite images show damage to a floating pier at Russia’s key Pacific Fleet submarine base after a magnitude 8.8 earthquake and tsunami struck the Kamchatka Peninsula last week.

  • A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 30, 2025, damaging the Rybachiy nuclear submarine base on the Pacific coast.
  • This earthquake, one of the strongest in decades, triggered tsunami warnings across the Pacific and caused part of a floating pier at Rybachiy to break away.
  • Satellite images from Planet Labs showed damage limited to a pier section, with no major destruction visible, and several submarines remained moored at undamaged piers.
  • Kamchatka Governor Vladimir Solodov called the event serious, while the Conflict Intelligence Team assessed that repairs would be minor and unlikely to affect the base's readiness.
  • Authorities ordered coastal evacuations to protect residents from tsunami risk, and no elevated radiation was reported, indicating limited immediate impact on military operations.
