Earthquakes in Kyrgyzstan — July 2026
3 earthquakes were recorded in Kyrgyzstan during July 2026, an average of 0.1 per day.
3 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 11 km.
The month's largest event in Kyrgyzstan was a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Kyzyl-Eshme, Kyrgyzstan on 03 July 2026 at 09:35 UTC. A magnitude 4.4 earthquake radiates roughly 60 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 1 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.
The month's largest events were M4.4 near Kyzyl-Eshme, Kyrgyzstan on 03 July at 10 km; M4.2 near Kazarman, Kyrgyzstan on 13 July at 10 km; M4.1 near Naryn, Kyrgyzstan on 19 July at 14 km.
That is 74% above the 2 events Kyrgyzstan averages per month across the 11 months on record.
