Due to its great depth of 609 km, it was not particularly intense at the surface, but was felt over a very large area. Such a deep-focus earthquake could be felt not only in areas surrounding the Okhotsk Sea but also in places as far as Tokyo (JMA 1, about 2,400 km away from the epicenter),http://www.jiji.com/jc/c?g=int_30&k=2013052400582 https://archive.today/20130625134544/http://www.jiji.com/jc/c?g=int_30&k=2013052400582 dead 2013-06-25 時事ドットコム Nanjing (more than 4,000 km away),http://news.ifeng.com/mainland/detail_2013_05/25/25697665_0.shtml 俄罗斯海域发生8.2级地震 江苏多地网友称有震感_资讯频道_凤凰网 2013-05-25 2018-10-31 https://web.archive.org/web/20181031005232/http://news.ifeng.com/mainland/detail_2013_05/25/25697665_0.shtml dead Atyrau (MMI V, about 7,200 km away),http://azh.kz/en/news/view/1584 Atyrau shaken by earthquake (Updated) – news on Ak Zhaik Moscow (about 7,400 km away),http://sakhvesti.ru/?div=skr&id=167401 ru:В Охотском море произошло мощное землетрясение 2013-05-24 РИА "Сахалин—Курилы" Russian https://web.archive.org/web/20130927075303/http://sakhvesti.ru/?div=skr&id=167401 2013-09-27 dead and Belgrade (about 8,100 km away).Huge earthquake in the Ochotsk Sea (Russia) – Noticeable in Japan, India and Moscow – Damage reports from Western Russia 24 May 2013 https://erdbebennews.de/2013/05/gewaltiges-erdbeben-im-ochotskischen-meer-russland-spuerbar-in-japan-indien-und-moskau-schadensmeldungen-aus-westrussland/ de Maximum recorded JMA intensity was Shindo 3 (equivalent to IV (Light) on the MMI Scale) in one locality each in Hokkaido and Akita prefectures. A related aftershock with a magnitude w6.7 occurred at 02:56 local time (14:52 UTC on 24 May), 9 hours after the earthquake, producing a supershear earthquake. It was an extremely deep (640 km or) supershear as well as unusually fast at "eight kilometers per second (five miles per second), nearly 50 percent faster than the shear wave velocity at that depth".http://phys.org/news/2014-07-evidence-super-fast-deep-earthquake.html Researchers find evidence of super-fast deep earthquake Phys.org July 10, 2014 July 10, 2014 Impact In Moscow, the shaking caused almost 900 residents to be evacuated from their homes.http://english.ruvr.ru/2013_05_24/New-earthquake-in-Okhotsk-Sea-magnitude-6-8/ New earthquake in Okhotsk Sea, magnitude 6.8 2013-05-25 https://web.archive.org/web/20130529083849/http://english.ruvr.ru/2013_05_24/New-earthquake-in-Okhotsk-Sea-magnitude-6-8/ 2013-05-29 dead In the city, small cracks appeared in several buildings. In Samara, a poorly constructed house collapsed and seventeen others were slightly damaged, despite the shaking being so weak there. In Saint Petersburg, one person had to be medically cared for in an office block due to nausea caused by the swaying building. In Yakutsk, 1,500 km from the epicenter, a bridge cracked. In Heilongjiang, China, a school was evacuated due to the shaking.
