A magnitude 4.3 earthquake near Homer, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA, was reported only 8 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 36 miles beneath the epicenter in the morning on Saturday, April 26th, 2025, at 11:54 am local time. 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.
A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 4.3 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 4.3.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Happy Valley (pop. 590) located 4 miles from the epicenter, Anchor Point (pop. 1,900) 16 miles away, Diamond Ridge (pop. 1,200) 23 miles away, Fritz Creek (pop. 1,900) 24 miles away, Homer (pop. 5,500) 25 miles away, Cohoe (pop. 1,400) 30 miles away, Kalifornsky (pop. 7,900) 33 miles away, and Kenai (pop. 7,700) 42 miles away.
