[Aftershocks continue near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. Russian experts: Strong aftershocks cannot be ruled out] The Kamchatka branch of the Unified Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences announced that in the early morning of the 31st local time, another 6.5-magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula, with a focal depth of 68 kilometers. Subsequently, a 5.3-magnitude earthquake was recorded in the area. The Unified Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences said that after the strong earthquake on the Kamchatka Peninsula on the 30th, more than 100 aftershocks of magnitude 5 or above have occurred. Russian experts predict that aftershocks of the same magnitude as the strong earthquake on the 30th cannot be ruled out. Yelena Kobeleva, an expert from the Unified Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences: The aftershocks will not end soon, and aftershocks of the same magnitude as the strong earthquake on the 30th may occur, especially in the case of such a huge crustal fault in the Kamchatka region.
