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.
