The M w 7.5 earthquake occurred on March 25. The earthquake was the largest to occur in Russia since the 2013 Okhotsk Sea earthquake. [17] It was initially reported as 7.8 M w , before being downgraded to 7.5. [18] This shock was a result of near-trench intraplate compressional faulting within the descending Pacific plate.
The 9.0 M w earthquake occurred on 5 November 1952 at 04:58 local time, triggering a major tsunami that hit Severo-Kurilsk, Kuril Islands, Sakhalin Oblast, Russian SFSR, USSR. [5] This led to the destruction of many settlements in Sakhalin Oblast and Kamchatka Oblast , while the main impact struck the town of Severo-Kurilsk.
