A 7.8‑magnitude quake struck Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on Sept. 19, 2025, rattling the region for 40 seconds and damaging buildings in Petropavlovsk‑Kamchatsky and Yelizovo. No injuries were reported, and an initial tsunami advisory was later withdrawn. The event follows a spike in seismic activity that included an 8.8‑magnitude megathrust quake in July. Experts warn aftershocks will continue as monitoring intensifies.
