Earthquakes in Kyrgyzstan — August 2025
4 earthquakes were recorded in Kyrgyzstan during August 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
4 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 11 km.
The month's largest event in Kyrgyzstan was a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Tash-Kumyr, Kyrgyzstan on 05 August 2025 at 13:44 UTC. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake radiates roughly 674 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is well above the Kyrgyzstan monthly average of 2 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 2 recorded the previous 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 3 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.1 near Tash-Kumyr, Kyrgyzstan on 05 August at 10 km; M4.5 near Daroot-Korgon, Kyrgyzstan on 26 August at 10 km; M4.4 near Kyzyl-Eshme, Kyrgyzstan on 25 August at 16 km.
That is 132% above the 2 events Kyrgyzstan averages per month across the 11 months on record.
