Kokhanok, AK – A magnitude 4.1 earthquake was recorded Sunday evening about 21 kilometers southeast of Kokhanok, Alaska, according to the Alaska Earthquake Center.
The event occurred at 8:30 p.m. UTC (11:30 a.m. local time) at a depth of approximately 143 kilometers (89 miles). Despite the measurable strength, the deep depth significantly reduced surface shaking.
According to seismic data, no citizen “felt reports” have been submitted as of Sunday afternoon, and there are no indications of damage or injury in the region. The quake was located near the Lake Iliamna area in southwest Alaska, a region known for frequent low to moderate seismic activity due to the movement of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates.
The Alaska Earthquake Center continues to monitor for any aftershocks or additional seismic activity within a 250-kilometer radius of the event’s epicenter.
Residents who may have felt the tremor are encouraged to share their experiences on the official earthquake report page to assist scientists in tracking seismic intensity.
