A tsunami warning was issued early Sunday as a 7.4 magnitude earthquake jolted the Alaska Peninsula, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS); however, there were reports of casualties from the authorities.
The USGS said that the quake was a relatively shallow one, striking at a depth of 9.3 km (5.78 miles).
It said that little or no landslide was expected, but some landslides could have occurred in highly susceptible areas.
According to Alaska Earthquake Centre, the event was felt widely throughout the Aleutian Islands — an area far from the mainland — the Alaskan Peninsula and Cook Inlet regions.
