This moderate M5.8 earthquake was a shallow-focus event, striking at 35 km beneath Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia. Moderate earthquakes are widely felt and can cause light damage near the epicenter, particularly to older or unreinforced structures.

At 35 km depth, this falls within the shallow-focus category. The relatively near-surface location means shaking at the epicenter may be more intense than deeper events of comparable magnitude.
