Earthquakes in Russia — July 2026

29 earthquakes were recorded in Russia during July 2026, an average of 0.9 per day.

28 reached magnitude 4 or above and 7 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 74 km.

The month's largest event in Russia was a magnitude 5.9 earthquake near Severo-Kuril’sk, Russia on 03 July 2026 at 08:22 UTC. A magnitude 5.9 earthquake radiates roughly 10,676 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the Russia monthly average of 90 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 54 recorded the previous month.

72% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 21% intermediate (70–300 km) and 7% deep-focus (over 300 km). That proportion of deep-focus events is the signature of a subduction zone: only a cold slab descending into the mantle stays brittle enough to rupture at those depths.

By band, the catalogue holds 1 in the magnitude 3 range, 21 in the magnitude 4 range, 7 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 15 July, when 5 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.9 near Severo-Kuril’sk, Russia on 03 July at 76 km; M5.8 near Ust’-Kamchatsk Staryy, Russia on 28 July at 10 km; M5.3 near Vilyuchinsk, Russia on 19 July at 10 km.

That is 68% below the 90 events Russia averages per month across the 21 months on record.
