Earthquake today: Southern California rattled by 4.3-magnitude quake in San Bernardino area
The tremor was recorded at around 9:30 a.m. and was the strongest of a series of quakes that morning, including at least four measuring magnitude 2.5 or higher, NBC Los Angeles reported. Communities near the epicenter, including Muscoy and Rialto—about 50 miles east of Los Angeles—felt the brunt of the shaking.
The first quake, a smaller tremor, hit at 8:34 a.m. in San Bernardino County. This was followed by the stronger 4.3-magnitude quake nearly an hour later. Shaking from the latter was widely felt in inland cities such as Riverside and San Bernardino, and extended across the Los Angeles Basin, with reports from Pasadena, Santa Monica, Long Beach, Torrance, and other nearby areas.
An aftershock measuring 3.1 in magnitude was detected about four minutes after the main shock.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or major structural damage, but emergency services continue to monitor the situation.

Tsunami alert in parts of Russia's Kamchatka after 7.0 quake near Kuril Islands
A tsunami was deemed possible in three areas of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on Sunday following a 7.0 magnitude earthquake near the Kuril Islands, the country's Ministry for Emergency Services said. Tsunami warning in Russia(Getty Images via AFP) 'The expected wave heights are low, but you must still move away from the shore,' news agency Reuters quoted the ministry's advisory on its Telegram channel, urging caution despite minimal projected impact. Meanwhile, the Pacific Tsunami Warning System confirmed the quake's 7.0 magnitude but stated that no tsunami warning had been issued. The US Geological Survey also recorded the quake at magnitude 7. The region also saw an eruption from a dormant volcano, although further details on the eruption were not immediately available.

Strong earthquake of 6.7 magnitude rattles Russia's Kuril Islands
The massive 8.8 magnitude quake on Wednesday is tied for the sixth strongest ever recorded ANI Asia An earthquake of magnitude 6.7 jolted Kuril Islands on Sunday, a statement by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) reported. As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a depth of 64km. In a post on X, the NCS said, "EQ of M: 6.7, On: 03/08/2025 11:07:59 IST, Lat: 50.76 N, Long: 157.71 E, Depth: 64 Km, Location: Kuril Islands." Earlier on Saturday, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 struck off East Coast of Kamchatka at a shallow depth of 20km, making it susceptible to aftershocks. In a post on X, the NCS said, "EQ of M: 6.0, On: 02/08/2025 19:44:05 IST, Lat: 51.61 N, Long: 159.42 E, Depth: 20 Km, Location: Off East Coast of Kamchatka." Shallow earthquakes are generally more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because the seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, resulting in stronger ground shaking and potentially more damage to structures and greater casualties. The massive 8.8 magnitude quake on Wednesday is tied for the sixth strongest ever recorded. There were no casualties in Russia, the Kremlin said. Around 125 aftershocks of magnitude 4.4 or greater have occurred near Russia in the more than 16 hours since the massive 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast, according to data from the US Geological Survey, CNN reported. Of those, three have been magnitude 6.0 or greater, with the strongest being a 6.9 that occurred about 45 minutes after the main shock. Strong aftershocks continue to rock the region, with a 6.4 magnitude aftershock striking around 200 miles southwest of yesterday's main quake's epicentre just before 11 am (local time) on Wednesday. Aftershocks are generally strongest and most numerous in the hours to days after the main earthquake, decreasing in number and intensity as time goes on. Meanwhile, the tsunami advisory for Hawaii has been lifted after a massive earthquake off Russia's far eastern coast put the region on high alert. Tsunami warnings for the US coastline and Japan were downgraded to advisories earlier, as per CNN.

Earthquake jolts New York City, New Jersey; memes flood social media
Residents across New York and New Jersey experienced light tremors late Saturday night as a small earthquake struck the region. Earthquake memes flooded social media after a minor quake struck New Jersey According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a magnitude 3.0 earthquake hit at 10:18 p.m. with its epicenter in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey — a suburb located just under eight miles west of Central Park and north of Newark. The tremor occurred at a depth of approximately 6.2 miles (10 kilometers). Tremors were reported across all five boroughs of New York City, according to a USGS map. In Brooklyn, one resident described the experience as 'a very brief tremor, just a slight swaying for a moment.' Nevertheless, social media lit up with posts from New Jersey and New York City residents who felt the tremors. The minor earthquake led to memes flooding social platforms like X. Take a look: Several people ran to X to check whether others experienced the tremors too The tremor was much milder than a 4.8-magnitude quake in 2024 that struck in Tewksbury, New Jersey, a little farther west of the city. A 3.0 earthquake is typically not strong enough to cause any damage, but tremors that mild are somewhat rare in the Northeast. New York City Emergency Management said there were no immediate reports of major impacts. (With inputs from AP)
