A strong 6.9-magnitude natural disaster rattled remote islands in the US state of Alaska, seismologists said, but there was no tsunami warning.

The Earthquake-Report monitoring website said the area has “steep mountain ranges and its vegetation is rainforest, which means that the chance on unsafe landslides is real”. No immediate casualties or damages have been reported, according to Reuters.
The earth began to shake at 8:49 p.m. and there were several aftershocks, according to Alaska Dispatch News. There have been a total of 12 earthquakes with a magnitude higher than 7.5 to have hit the region since 1900. The epicenter was about 45 miles southwest of the tiny village Nikolski (population 15), and the shaking began about 16 miles underneath the surface.
