[Updated at 10:56 a.m. ET] An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 struck a sparsely populated region of southeastern Russia on Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake rumbled a part of Russia near its border with Mongolia. Its epicenter was about 60 miles east of the Russian city of Kyzyl and 210 miles northeast of Ulaangom, Mongolia, the Geological Survey said.
The earthquake was relatively shallow, with a depth of four miles.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

This story is developing. We'll bring you the latest information as soon as we get it.
I love earthquakes.
Wow! Hope their were no casualties. Waiting for updates.
"there", not "their" – Bad grammar is worse than earthquakes.
You need to learn how to use proper grammar.
Grammar police are consistently worse than those using poor grammar in the first place. Ok. Ok. We've noticed you and acknowledged your existence, Andreas.
praying that nobody got hurt...
Why didn't you pray against earthquakes BEFORE?
@ andrea moser, why didn't you pray before? That is a stupid question/reply to make.
All are alive. Nothing is destroyed. Krasnoyarsk, Siberia.
A tundra full of snow probably doesn't suffer too much from an earthquake.
Andreas, why don't you look up the population of Krasnoyarsk and stop chauvinist comments! Надя, спасибо.
wow.
KatyaKatya, You are welcome.
6.6?? 666? 2012? HAARP!
No christina, they are not referring to those, you are strange.
A man can't joke around a little.. ay?
2 Andreas Moser: I doubt that snow affects the strength of an earthquake.
I think it was dinosaurs buried deep beneath the surface coming back to life. Or perhaps aliens below the surface coming up to attack earth. Maybe this will force all countries to come together peacefully for once. 🙂
No christina, that is not what caused the earthquake. Learn geology.
Christopher – you have capitalised Earth.
It's the giant flesh eating locust of the 7000 year hatching. Nearly all life will be wiped out in the 3 years they are on the surface. Breed twice and go back into the ground for another 7000 years. or I just made it up. But ask yourself why so many rich prople have giant steel bunkers with food for 3 to 5 years around the world.
i agree....where were the prayers against earthquakes before......people only say that in vain afterward....sad sad sad
R u kidding& now in Russia is veru warm!!!! and snow can't help solve these problem, nobady was hurted
Stay in the Grace of Christ Jesus.
Sorry, but tell me where it say in the bible that Jesus lives in you. He is in Heaven. Just because it says he was one with his disiples doesnt mean he was within them either. Idiot.
Bigtalls.c0m..a nice club for tàll people to date. You need not to be beautiful or handsome,if you are over 5'8", as long as you are tàll, you are very popular here.
Christopher: I should have said that you should have capitalised Earth.
The Three Gorges Dam should never been constructed. Hundreds of millions will die if that fails, mark my words.
Everyone knew that when it was being built. It's just a population control mechanisim lol.
.......in the time of the end, earthquakes will be wide spread....hmmmm....where have i heard that???
