The US Geological Survey notes the quake was an outcome of “shallow reverse faulting” at a depth of 10km, with multiple aftershocks measured up to 5.8 magnitude.
Governor Vladimir Solodov stated emergency services were on high alert but no damage was reported. The quake tested the resilience of the local population, and immediate inspections were carried out.
Tsunami warnings were also issued for Kuril Islands, and the US issued a tsunami advisory for parts of Alaska, which was later lifted.

Kamchatka, known for seismic activity, experienced two magnitude 7.0 quakes in the past week, with a notable magnitude 8.8 earthquake in July triggering a Pacific-wide tsunami alert.
