7.3 Earthquake Jolts Alaska, Triggers Brief Tsunami Warning

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck off Alaska’s coast near Sand Point, triggering a brief tsunami warning that was later canceled.

The quake hit at a shallow depth of 12.5 miles and was followed by multiple aftershocks, the strongest reaching magnitude 5.2.

A minor tsunami of 0.2 feet was recorded, but no injuries or damage were reported.

Authorities urged residents to remain cautious and avoid hazard zones until officially cleared.

Alaska’s location on the Pacific Ring of Fire makes it highly prone to seismic activity.
