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 quakesāmost 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 7.3āmagnitude earthquake struck off Alaskaās 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 20āÆkm depth ā 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 1964āthe 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.

Tensions surged near Sandy Cay on May 22 as Chinese Coast Guard vessels sideswiped and blasted Philippine research ships with water cannons. China slammed the mission as āillegal,ā warning of further action, and accused the US of using the Philippines to provoke Beijing in the South China Sea. The Philippines condemned Chinaās āaggressive interference,ā reporting vessel damage and safety threats. Sandy Cay is part of the disputed Spratly Islands, also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan. The incident adds fuel to the ongoing maritime conflict and challenges a 2016 arbitration ruling.
