4.6-magnitude earthquake shakes Alaska's Anchorage

Over 1,000 people on Monday felt the 4.6-magnitude earthquake tremors in Alaska's Anchorage, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). 

The mild earthquake struck an area northeast of Anchorage. It was about 12 miles south of the city and about two miles south of Eagle River. 

The quake was designated as light to moderate and there were no reports of injuries or any damage, NY Post reported.

It occurred at 6:47am local time and was 17.5 miles deep, according to the data provided by the USGS.

Moreover, there weren't any warnings issued in connection with the quake and the Anchorage Fire Department did not report any emergency calls.

Just a day earlier, a 3.8 magnitude quake was reported on the West Coast.

Alaska is among the places which are seismically active in the United States. In November 2018, a 7-magnitude hit Anchorage and caused damage to the infrastructure.

In 1964, an earthquake of magnitude 9.2 was recorded as the most powerful in the US and second most powerful in the world. It killed over 100 people followed by a tsunami which wiped out several small towns along the coast.
