A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake has struck in the Pacific Ocean off the east coast of Alaska, 1600 kilometres west of Anchorage
The quake on the Fox Islands stuck at 6:09pm local time, 163km east of the tiny fishing port of Atka, at a depth of 40km.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre did not issue a tsunami warning for the Pacific Ocean, and the US Geological Survey later cancelled a warning for coastal Alaska.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
