[Regnum] The probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of up to nine Richter points remains in Kamchatka within 24 hours. This was reported by the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
“ There remains an increased probability of a strong earthquake of up to 9 points in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Elizovo, Vilyuchinsk and the village of Ust-Kamchatsk,” seismologists reported.
According to the institute, seismic energy has accumulated in the Avacha Bay area, sufficient for an earthquake of magnitude 8.5–8.7.
Moreover, the earthquake that occurred on August 18 could be a foreshock of a similar earthquake, or a more powerful one in the near future.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 was recorded off the coast of Kamchatka on the morning of August 18. Residents of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Vilyuchinsky urban districts, Yelizovsky and Ust-Kamchatsky districts felt tremors, the strength of which was estimated at five to seven points. The epicenter was located 108 km from the regional capital.
Later, the director of the Kamchatka branch of the Unified Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Danila Chebrov, reported that aftershocks will continue for a long time in Kamchatka after the earthquake that occurred there.

There is a strong magnetic storm on Earth
On the evening of August 17, another magnetic storm began on Earth. It was assigned class G3 — strong (on a scale of five indicators). This was reported by Mikhail Leus, a specialist at the Phobos weather center,on the Telegram channel.
According to Leus, at first the geomagnetic field index corresponded to the level of an average magnetic storm of class G1.
“Then the disturbances in the geomagnetic field increased and at 20:46 Moscow time the magnetic storm became strong, class G3,” the specialist explained.
It is expected that a strong magnetic storm will last on Earth until at least midday on August 18, and possibly until the night of August 19.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, a powerful magnetic storm was recorded on Earth on August 12, threatening disruptions in energy and satellite systems, reported specialists from the Institute of Applied Geophysics (FGBU IPG).
A powerful explosion occurred on the Earth-facing side of the Sun on August 14, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory warned, specifying that the flare belongs to the highest class X. The point of the explosion is on the Sun-Earth line, in the center of the visible solar disk, from where the impact on the Earth became inevitable.
