Kamchatka Shaken Again: Eight Aftershocks Hit Following Major Earthquake

In the past 24 hours, at least eight aftershocks have been reported off the coast of Russia’s Far East Kamchatka peninsula, as stated by the regional Emergency Situations Ministry on Wednesday. This follows nearly three months after the most significant earthquake in over 70 years struck the area.

The aftershocks, measuring between magnitudes 3.6 and 4.8, occurred after the July 30 earthquake, which registered a magnitude of 8.8 off Kamchatka’s eastern shore. According to Russian scientists, the southern region of Kamchatka moved as much as 2 meters (6 feet) southeast as a result of this quake, the most powerful since 1952.

One of the aftershocks was felt in several local communities, according to the Emergency Ministry.

Additionally, regional seismologists recorded a magnitude 5.5 earthquake near the regional capital, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, located on the southeast coast of the peninsula.

The tremors there were reported to reach up to four on the local intensity scale, but there was no tsunami warning issued.

Data from the U.S. Geological Survey indicated that at least three of the recent earthquakes occurred over an eight-hour timeframe southeast of the southern naval town of Vilyuchinsk.

The strongest of these, measuring 5.1 in magnitude, hit at approximately 5:30 a.m. Moscow time at a depth of 74 kilometers (46 miles).

Two additional tremors were recorded at magnitudes 4.7 and 4.4, occurring at shallower depths between 35 and 56.5 kilometers (22 and 35 miles).

Witkoff and Putin Will Meet Tuesday Afternoon to Discuss U.S. Peace Plan Текст: President Vladimir Putin will meet with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff in Moscow on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the Trump administration’s latest proposal to end the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin said. “The meeting with Witkoff is planned for tomorrow,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in a briefing on Monday, adding that it will take place “in the second half of the day.” Witkoff, abillionaire developer-turned-special envoy,is expected to arrive in Moscow with Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law,to discuss a peace framework that U.S. and Ukrainian officials drafted last weekend in Geneva, Switzerland. The Kremlin did not mention Kushner in its statement on Monday. It will be Witkoff’ssixth visit to Russia since January. The draft peace plan emerged amid a renewed burst of diplomacy that kicked off after an original 28-point peace proposal was leaked in the press last month. That initial set of proposals was writtenby the Trump administration and, reportedly, Kremlin officials. The original framework has since been pared down to roughly 20 points, and U.S. officials have hinted that Ukraine agreed to the revised version. However, it remains unclear whether Putin will back the changes, which sources say are “significantly better” for Ukraine than the original list of provisions, widely seen as closer to Russia’s position. Putin said last week thathe may be open to some elements of the U.S. plan to end the war, but he also issueda defiant warning that Russian forces would continue their advance in the Donbas region if Kyiv refuses to accept his conditions for a ceasefire.
