Seismic record
In Kyrgyzstan, the USGS catalogue lists 30 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or more since 1900 and 65 of magnitude 5 or more since 2000, about 2 a year. In the 12 months to 13 Oct 2026 it recorded 16 of magnitude 2.5 or more, 15 of them magnitude 4 or more.
The largest since 1900: M8.0 on 3 Jan 1911, 37 km NW of Cholpon-Ata, Issyk-Kul, Kyrgyzstan. The most recent of magnitude 5 or more: M5.0 on 12 Aug 2026, 83 km NW of Naryn, Naryn Region, Kyrgyzstan.
Counts from the USGS ComCat catalogue (public domain), last compiled 13 Oct 2026. Outside the United States, ComCat is complete from about magnitude 4.5, so smaller local earthquakes may be missing from these counts but appear in the lists below. How these pages are built

Questions
How many earthquakes happen in Kyrgyzstan?
In the last 30 days, 5 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater were recorded in Kyrgyzstan, 3 of them in the last 7 days. In the last 24 hours, 0 earthquakes of any magnitude were recorded. Most small earthquakes are not felt.
What was the largest recent earthquake in Kyrgyzstan?
The largest in the last 30 days was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake 103 km ESE of Daroot-Korgon, Osh Region, Kyrgyzstan on 3 Nov 2026, at a depth of 10 km.
What is the largest earthquake recorded in Kyrgyzstan since 1900?
According to the USGS catalogue, the largest was a magnitude 8.0 earthquake on 3 Jan 1911 (The 1911 Kemin Earthquake, Kyrgyzstan). Magnitudes of early 20th-century earthquakes are less certain than modern ones.
How deep are earthquakes in Kyrgyzstan?
100% of the magnitude 2.5+ earthquakes recorded in Kyrgyzstan in the last 30 days were shallower than 70 km. Shallow earthquakes generally cause stronger shaking at the surface than deep ones of the same magnitude.
Where can I get official earthquake information for Kyrgyzstan?
For official information, warnings and safety advice, follow your national seismological agency and civil protection authority. This site compiles agency reports and is not a warning service.
Can earthquakes be predicted?
No. Scientists can estimate how likely strong shaking is in a region over years or decades, but no method predicts the time, place and size of a specific earthquake. Aftershocks are expected after large earthquakes and become less frequent over time.
