What it means
An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 was recorded at a depth of 70 km, near Vilyuchinsk, on 24/10 at 20:35 UTC. The data is preliminary and may be updated.
The hypocentre is at intermediate depth, 70 km.
An earthquake in this magnitude range is considered moderate. Many people nearby can feel it, especially indoors, and it typically causes light effects such as rattling objects, though the actual experience depends on many factors. Because the rock slipped well below the surface, the shaking tends to spread over a wider area and is usually milder at ground level than a shallow quake of similar strength. Earthquakes like this can be followed by smaller aftershocks, as the surrounding rock adjusts to the stress left by the main movement. For official guidance, please refer to Protezione Civile and INGV.
It may contain errors: when in doubt, the source figure prevails.
