At least 13 people from the districts of Gudermes, Shalinsky and Kurchaloyevsky were killed.^[3]^[4] The mainshock and a series of aftershocks were felt throughout the North Caucasus, and even in Armenia and Georgia. About 116 people were injured.^{[citation needed]}

Dagestan, Ingushetia, North Ossetia and Stavropol also experienced the tremors,^[3] with a total of 16 shocks between 3 and 6 on the Richter magnitude scale.^{[citation needed]} Some tremors lasted up to 30 seconds, causing serious structural damage in two Chechen districts, and left 52,000 people without power in three districts.^[3] Communications and roads in Chechnya were also disrupted.^[5]

Five-hundred families in the heavily affected town of Kurchaloy needed tent shelters, and the local hospital in that town was evacuated.^[6] There was only minimal damage in the Chechnya capital of Grozny, consisting mostly of broken windows.^[6]
