Just 20 minutes ago, a 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Akutan, Aleutians East, Alaska, USA. The tremor was recorded early evening on Thursday, May 22nd, 2025, at 6:30 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 6.2 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by the United States Geological Survey, the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.2 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.1, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.1.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Akutan (pop. 1000) located 75 miles from the epicenter.
