Kamchatka records 11 notable earthquakes in a week, two felt in populated areas

Russian emergency officials report 11 notable seismic events off Kamchatka and on its territory from October 12-18, with two felt in populated areas. The cluster is notable for its frequency but not necessarily for magnitude; no damage or casualties are reported. This continues a pattern of seismic activity in the region, with the main uncertainty being whether it signals a larger event.
