A very shallow magnitude 6.6 earthquake was reported in the morning near Yakutat, Yakutat City and, Alaska, USA.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Saturday, December 6th, 2025, at 11:41 am local time at a very shallow depth of 3.1 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Yakutat (pop. 660) located 55 miles from the epicenter.
