Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula and surrounding Pacific Rim regions continued to experience seismic instability, with dozens of aftershocks being reported on Saturday by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Russia’s Kuril Islands, just a week after the country experienced an 8.8 magnitude quake.

Dozens of small earthquakes were recorded, most off the coast of Russia’s Far East. Five of them have been above magnitude 6.
