Reports here, unbelievable earthquake with large magnitude
A powerful 9.1 magnitude earthquake struck the
Alaskan Peninsula late Wednesday, triggering tsunami warnings and intense monitoring across the Pacific region. The quake occurred at a depth of 35 km, about 91 km east-southeast of Perryville.
Tsunami sirens were activated in Kodiak and other coastal areas, prompting evacuations as precautionary measures. The US National Tsunami Warning Center (NTWC) issued alerts for southern Alaska, covering the coast from Hinchinbrook Entrance to Unimak Pass.
No immediate damage or casualties were reported following the quake. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy confirmed the state’s emergency operations center was activated to coordinate response efforts.
Initial tsunami warnings were also issued for Hawaii and Guam but were later lifted after assessments showed no significant threat to those areas.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, alongside agencies in Japan and New Zealand, began evaluating the potential risks to their coastlines as well.
