A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck off Alaska's Sand Point coast at 12:37 a.m. local time, shaking the seismically volatile region and triggering a tsunami warning for South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula. With an epicenter just 87 kilometers south of Sand Point and a shallow depth of 20.1 kilometers, the quake sparked panic in coastal towns.
The National Tsunami Warning Center confirmed tsunami waves and urged immediate evacuation from areas between Kennedy Entrance and Unimak Pass. Alaska, part of the notorious Pacific Ring of Fire, has a history of devastating quakes—most notably the 1964 megaquake that killed over 250 people. While no warnings were issued for Hawaii or the US mainland, emergency crews are on high alert. Footage from the moment the earthquake struck shows dramatic tremors rattling homes and shaking the ground. The aftermath is being closely monitored for aftershocks and further tsunami threats.

A powerful 7.3‑magnitude earthquake struck off Alaska’s coast Wednesday, prompting an immediate tsunami warning for South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula. The USGS reported its epicenter was roughly 54 miles south of Sand Point at a shallow 20 km depth — conditions that raise tsunami fears. The National Tsunami Warning Center confirmed a tsunami has occurred, cautioning coastal communities from Kennedy Entrance to Unimak Pass.
Though only these regions are at risk, residents are urged to evacuate low-lying areas and stay alert for updates. Alaska, part of the seismic Pacific Ring of Fire, previously endured a deadly 9.2 quake in 1964—the strongest in North America, which unleashed a devastating tsunami. While a 7.2 quake in July 2023 passed without major incident, the current event has revived emergency vigilance. Authorities are working to assess impacts and ensure community safety as aftershocks and swelling waves remain a concern.

A powerful earthquake of magnitude 6.6 struck the northern coast of Chile on Friday, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences. The tremor, occurring at a depth of 104 km (64.62 miles), sent shockwaves across the region, though there have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The deep-seated quake underscores Chile's volatile position along the Pacific "Ring of Fire," where tectonic activity remains frequent. Authorities are assessing the situation as aftershocks remain a possibility and residents are advised to stay alert.
