An earthquake of magnitude 5.9 struck off the east coast of Russia’s Kamchatka region on Friday, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said.

The quake hit at a depth of 51 kilometres, EMSC said.

The quake comes over a week after another powerful quake measuring a magnitude 7.2 struck the same region at the same depth on August 17, triggering a volcanic eruption.
