A powerful 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Alaskan Peninsula late Wednesday, prompting tsunami warnings and heightened monitoring across the Pacific. The quake, at a depth of 35 km, occurred 91 km east-southeast of Perryville. No immediate damage or casualties were reported.
Tsunami sirens were activated in places like Kodiak, as shown in a video obtained by Reuters. The US National Tsunami Warning Center (NTWC) issued alerts for southern Alaska and coastal areas from Hinchinbrook Entrance to Unimak Pass.
Hawaii and Guam were initially warned but later declared safe. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy confirmed the activation of the state’s emergency operations center. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and other national
agencies, including those in Japan and New Zealand, began assessments for potential threats. The USGS reported at least eight aftershocks, two exceeding magnitude 6.0.
