Earthquakes in Kazakhstan — July 2025
2 earthquakes were recorded in Kazakhstan during July 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
2 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.
The month's largest event in Kazakhstan was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Asubulak, Kazakhstan on 23 July 2025 at 10:37 UTC. A magnitude 5.2 earthquake radiates roughly 951 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Kazakhstan monthly average of 2 events over the period we cover.
100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
By band, the catalogue holds 1 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.2 near Asubulak, Kazakhstan on 23 July at 10 km; M4.1 near Lugovoy, Kazakhstan on 08 July at 10 km.
That is close to the 2 events Kazakhstan averages per month across the 9 months on record.
This month also holds the strongest earthquake recorded in Kazakhstan in our entire catalogue.
