A 6.1-magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of the Alaskan peninsula, 970 kilometers southwest of Anchorage, but there have been no reports of damage or casualties.
The temblor occurred on Saturday at 1959 GMT, AFP quoted the US Geological Survey as saying.
The epicenter of the quake was near Sand Point, Alaska, on an island in the North Pacific just off the Alaska peninsula, at a depth of 48 kilometers.
Three weeks ago, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake shook Alaska's Aleutian Islands, triggering a tsunami warning that sent people heading for high ground before the alert was canceled.
