The 2007 Kuril Islands earthquake occurred east of the Kuril Islands on 13 January at {{tooltip|1:23 p.m. (JST)|04:23 UTC}}. The shock had a moment magnitude of 8.1 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VI (Strong). A non-destructive tsunami was generated, with maximum wave amplitudes of {{convert|0.32|m|sp=us}}. The earthquake is considered a doublet of the 8.3 magnitude 2006 Kuril Islands earthquake which occurred two months prior on 15 November 2006 approximately 95 km to the southeast.
