Earthquake of 9 intensity has occurred before in Kamchatka
Japan is part of the region known as Pacific Ring of Fire. It is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. Earlier in July, there were five powerful earthquakes in the sea near Kamchatka, the largest of which was 7.4 magnitude. The largest earthquake occurred at a depth of 20 km and 144 km east of Petropavavalovsk-Kampachtski city, which has a population of about 1.8 lakhs.
