WASHINGTON : A strong, magnitude 6.3 earthquake shook Alaska's remote Aleutian Islands early Friday, the US Geological Survey reported.
The quake struck just southeast of Adak Island at 2:16 am local time (11:16 GMT) at a depth of 31 miles (50 kilometres), the USGS said in a bulletin.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reported that there was no threat of a destructive tsunami.
The Aleutians are a long string of islands that are part of the US state of Alaska and separate the Bering Sea from the North Pacific Ocean. - AFP/ms
