Earlier, the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) had put the magnitude of the quake at 6.4.

Monday's quake in Kamchatka comes mere months after a monster 8.8 earthquake in July this year triggered a Pacific-wide tsunami warning.

Despite its magnitude-the July quake was the most powerful earthquake recorded worldwide since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake in Japan, and is tied with the 1906 Ecuador–Colombia and 2010 Chile earthquakes as the sixth-strongest ever-there was minimal casualties and damages, with only one death reported.
