The article presents the detailed information on seismic observation networks and catalogue of seismic events in Kazakhstan for 2014 made by data of two organizations - Seismological Experience-Methodical expedition of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (SEME), and the Institute of Geophysical Research of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan (IGR). The catalogue includes 559 earthquakes with energy class КР=6.6–13.6. The largest earthquake of the year occurred on November 14, 2014 at the southern side of the Issyk-Kul Lake, near Kadzhysay settlement. The earthquake magnitude was MPVA=6.2, energy class КР=13.6. The most interesting was the earthquake occurred at aseismic region of Central Kazakhstan near Karaganda on June 21, 2014. The earthquake was recorded by the seismic stations of Kazakhstan and the world (MPVA=5.2, КР=11.7), it was felt in many settlements. The authors suppose that this earthquake is a natural-induced event.
