United States Geological Survey (USGS): At 11:24am local time (7/30/2025), a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck offshore of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, due to shallow thrust faulting along the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone.

Tsunami alerts were issued around the Pacific Basin. This event followed a magnitude 7.4 foreshock on July 20 and occurred just 45 kilometers southeast of the epicenter of the 1952 magnitude 9.0 quake.

The rupture likely spanned an area roughly 390 kilometers long and 140 kilometers wide. Earthquakes of this magnitude are not points, but large areas of slip along faults.

This region is seismically active, with 31 other M6.5+ events recorded within 250 kilometers over the last century.
