Magnitude 4.1 earthquake strikes 40 km NW of Naryn, Kyrgyzstan

A magnitude 4.1 earthquake struck 40 kilometers northwest of Naryn, Kyrgyzstan, on July 19, 2026, at 20:41:06.279 UTC. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), a scientific agency of the U.S. government, reported the seismic event occurred at a depth of 14.057 kilometers.

The epicenter of the earthquake was precisely located at coordinates 41.7193 degrees latitude and 75.6884 degrees longitude. Magnitude, a measure of an earthquake's size, is determined by the USGS using seismographs that record the amplitude of seismic waves generated by the rupture along a fault.

The depth of the earthquake refers to how far below the Earth's surface the rupture occurred. The USGS continuously monitors seismic activity globally to provide timely and accurate information on earthquakes for scientific research and public information.
