Earthquakes in Kyrgyzstan
No events have been recorded in Kyrgyzstan in the past 30 days, and 7 of the events on record reached magnitude 5 or above — the level at which damage becomes a genuine concern for vulnerable construction. Activity here is almost entirely crustal, which means shaking at the surface is strong relative to the magnitudes involved.
19 earthquakes have been recorded in Kyrgyzstan in our catalogue, 0 of them in the past 30 days.
The average magnitude is 4.6 and the average focal depth 11 km. 19 events reached magnitude 4 or above and 7 reached magnitude 5 or above.
The strongest earthquake recorded in Kyrgyzstan in this period was a magnitude 5.4 event near Kanysh-Kyya, Kyrgyzstan on 05 October 2025, at a depth of 10 km. A magnitude 5.4 earthquake radiates roughly 1,898 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
Locations recording the most events include Kyzyl-Eshme (3), Baetovo (3), Daroot-Korgon (2), Kazarman (2), At-Bashi (2).
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 12 in the magnitude 4 range, 7 in the magnitude 5 range.
No event in this record carries a USGS link to NOAA tsunami information.

Frequently asked questions
How many earthquakes have there been in Kyrgyzstan?
19 earthquakes are recorded in Kyrgyzstan in our catalogue, including 0 in the past 30 days and 19 of magnitude 4 or above.
What was the biggest earthquake in Kyrgyzstan?
The largest recorded here was a magnitude 5.4 event near Kanysh-Kyya, Kyrgyzstan on 05 October 2025.
Is Kyrgyzstan at risk of earthquakes?
Earthquake hazard depends on proximity to active faults and plate boundaries rather than on national borders. The record for Kyrgyzstan shows 19 events of magnitude 4 or above, which is the band at which shaking becomes widely noticeable. Consult your national seismic hazard agency for building-code and preparedness guidance.
