A magnitude 4.5 earthquake occurred late at night on Saturday, October 24th, 2026, at 11:44 pm local time near Akutan, Aleutians East, Alaska, USA, according to the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a very shallow depth of miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones because 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 the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Akutan (pop. 1000), located 56 miles from the epicenter; Unalaska (pop. 4,500), 67 miles away; and Dutch Harbor (pop. 4,400), 68 miles away.

Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported a magnitude 4.8 earthquake in Indonesia near Langsa, Kota Langsa, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province, just 5 minutes ago. The earthquake struck in the early afternoon on Sunday, October 25th, 2026, at 2:40 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 10 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the earthquake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the RaspberryShake citizen-seismograph network, which also listed the earthquake at magnitude 4.8.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the earthquake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibrations in the epicentral area.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Langsa (pop. 194,700), located 46 km from the epicenter; Pangkalan Brandan (pop. 25,500), 77 km away; Tanjungtiram (pop. 25,100), 86 km away; Lhokseumawe (pop. 196,100), 117 km away; and Binjai (pop. 279,300), 120 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the magnitude and depth if they change and follow up if other significant news about the earthquake becomes available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism,
