Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula has been rocked by three new earthquakes today — part of a relentless wave of seismic activity that began after a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in July 2025. With over 2,800 aftershocks recorded so far, scientists warn this could continue for months or even years.

In this 1-minute breakdown, we explain what’s happening beneath the surface, why Kamchatka matters globally, and what it could mean for countries across the Pacific — including the U.S., Japan, and Chile.

00:00Russia just got shaken. Again.
00:02Three new earthquakes hit the Kamchatka Peninsula today.
00:05And it's part of something much bigger.
00:07Early Monday, the USGS confirmed three quakes, magnitudes 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8, off Kamchatka's eastern coast.
00:17No damage reported. No tsunami alerts.
00:20But this isn't just a random shakeup.
00:22It all traces back to July 29th.
00:24A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck the same region.
00:28One of the largest ever recorded.
00:30Since then? Over 2,800 aftershocks.
00:33And they're still coming.
00:35Experts say aftershocks from such a massive event can last years.
00:38Some already reached as high as magnitude 7.8.
00:41That's why today's tremors are a big deal.
00:44The Kamchatka Peninsula sits right on the ring of fire.
00:47A global hotspot for quakes and eruptions.
00:50And any major shift here could ripple across the Pacific.
00:53Affecting the US, Japan, even Chile.
00:56So while today's quakes were moderate, they're part of an ongoing story.
01:00One that geologists, and the world, are watching closely.
01:04Because when Kamchatka moves, the planet feels it.
01:08So while we're the 128, the 332, we can do allot.
01:10So this is the reality of all, the world will have an ongoing story.
01:12So this is the reality of the world that we're going to have a complete campaign.
01:14We're on a page of the world that's really relevant to the world.
01:16And the world that we're going to get a large starting point in the world.
01:18We're going to do a fascinating story.
01:20Have a big part of this.
01:22You decided to add two different situations.
01:24If you're a very Asian, you're the one in the world that have fallen off.
