A powerful M7.8 earthquake hit near the east coast of Kamchatka, Russia at 18:58 UTC on September 18 (06:58 LT on September 19), 2025. The agency is reporting a depth of 19.5 km (12 miles). EMSC is reporting the same magnitude and depth.
A strong and shallow M6.0 earthquake struck near the coast of Kamchatka, Russia, at 16:34 UTC (04:34 LT) on September 15, 2025. The USGS reported a depth of 24.5 km (15 miles). This event is considered an aftershock of the major M8.8 tsunami-generating earthquake on July 29, 2025.

Eruptive activity at Klyuchevskoy volcano intensified after M 8.8 earthquake on July 29, 2025, with a large lava flow descending the WSW flank, continuous lava fountaining, and a significant ash plume. Based on volcanic tremor data and current eruptive behavior, a paroxysmal eruption is considered likely within the next 72 hours.
Preliminary data from KBGSRAS shows that the southern part of the Kamchatka Peninsula shifted southeastward by nearly 2 m (6.6 feet) after M8.8 earthquake on July 29. This is comparable in scale to displacement observed during the 2011 M9.1 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan.
Rare footage shows large tsunami waves hitting Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula following an M8.8 earthquake at 23:24 UTC (11:24 local time) on July 29, 2025. Video captured from a coastal cliff shows successive wave fronts surging ashore and rapidly inundating low-lying areas.
The Krasheninnikov volcano erupted for the first time in 600 year on August 3, 2025, sending an ash plume 6 km (19 700 feet) into the sky. Scientists suggest that the eruption might have been linked to the M8.8 earthquake that struck the Kamchatka peninsula on July 30.
