According to the USGS, the earthquake occurred just after 7 a.m. local time, around 90 kilometers east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and at a depth of roughly 50 kilometers (30 miles).
After first issuing a tsunami warning, the US National Tsunami Warning Center eventually declared that the threat had gone. There was never a tsunami alert from the local government.
A number of minor aftershocks were detected following the main earthquake, according to a website post by Russia's Unified Geophysical Service's Kamchatka branch.
Over two dozen active volcanoes can be found inside the archipelago, which is situated on the seismically active "Ring of Fire" region that crosses a large portion of the Pacific.
