The investigation results of the April 12, 2014, <i>M</i> = 4.5 Primorye earthquake (Far Eastern Russia)
Primorye is a region with quite moderate shallow seismicity which has been insufficiently investigated so far in this respect. Based on the obtained instrumental data of regional seismic networks and macroseismic data collected in southwestern Primorye on the crustal earthquake with M = 4.5 occurred on April 12, 2014, we have first succeeded in determining the hypocenter parameters and the focal mechanism of the mainshock of this shallow earthquake and estimating the hypocenter parameters of the following aftershock.
