Earthquakes in Kazakhstan — September 2026
1 earthquakes were recorded in Kazakhstan during September 2026, an average of 0.0 per day.
0 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 10 km.
The month's largest event in Kazakhstan was a magnitude 3.4 earthquake near Almaty, Kazakhstan on 28 September 2026 at 04:38 UTC. A magnitude 3.4 earthquake radiates roughly 1.9 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Kazakhstan monthly average of 2 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month.
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 3 range.
That is 44% below the 2 events Kazakhstan averages per month across the 10 months on record.
