OREANDA-NEWS An earthquake has occurred in the Northern Kuril Islands. Elena Semenova, head of the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk seismological station, told RIA Novosti about this.
Seismic tremors were recorded at 8:25 a.m. local time (0:25 a.m. Moscow time). The epicenter of the earthquake was located in the Pacific Ocean on Paramushir Island, 93 kilometers east of Severo-Kurilsk. The source was located at a depth of 36 kilometers. The magnitude of the earthquake was 5.1 on the Richter scale. In Severo-Kurilsk itself, the tremors were felt at the level of 3 points. There was no tsunami alert on the coast of the island.
A powerful earthquake of magnitude 8.7 occurred in Kamchatka on the night of July 30. It was the strongest since 1952. After that, four tsunami waves passed in Severo-Kurilsk. A tsunami threat has been declared in Japan, Hawaii, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Mexico and China.
Shortly after the earthquake, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, Klyuchevskaya Sopka, began to erupt on the peninsula, and later the Krasheninnikov volcano woke up. Its last eruption occurred almost five centuries ago.
The last earthquake in Kamchatka occurred on September 4. Its magnitude was 5.3. The epicenter was located 161 kilometers from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
