Could this be something other than a natural earthquake?
The Kamchatka region seems prone to earthquakes so I'd say it's natural.

Not disagreeing with you but I do like to play devils advocate

The seismic signature would be different for a nuke. Its actually very difficult to hide the blast of the scale of nukes used these days.

I think the theory about the planets aligning is likely a myth, but Degradation33's input to the thread was worthy of a look.
Tidal forces shift monumental amounts of mass to different locations on a daily basis. Other factors can cause these tidal actions to be greater or lesser depending on the location of the Moon, it's orbit and other seasonal factors. Other planetary alignment (beyond the Moon) likely has negligible effect on these tidal actions, including solar, but they certainly don't diminish any of these actions either.
So yes, the theory in the OP of that post likely doesn't hold much water, but some of the other input is good about plate tectonics and other seismic activity is informative. These things are definitely at the root cause of earthquakes.
