A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Alaska Peninsula early Monday, with its epicentre located near Sand Point. No tsunami warning was issued, and no damage has been reported so far.

Wednesday's magnitude 7.3 earthquake off Alaska's Aleutian Islands chain struck in a region that has experienced a handful of powerful quakes within the last five years.

The quake that struck Alaska’s southern coast on Wednesday, July 16 is part of a larger sequence that may continue to unfold in destructive ways.
