The seismic monitoring results of Magadan Oblast, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and adjacent sea shelfs (of Okhotsk, Chukchi, Bering, and East Siberian seas) are analyzed. The information about 14 digital seismic stations, as well as monitoring equipment types and parameters, is given. The maps of earthquakes energy representativeness, seismic stations, and epicenters are presented. The distributions of earthquakes number by energy classes and the total amount of seismic energy across six regions and border areas of North East are provided. The catalog includes information about 252 events with energy classes КR from 5.4 to 13.8. The earthquake epicenters of the Kolyma region are marked on the tectonic zoning scheme of Magadan Oblast. All earthquakes in North-East of Russia are spatially associated with the major seismogenic belts: the Chersky, the North Okhotsk and the Trans-Bering Sea
