A Magnitude 6.4 earthquake has struck Alaska at 8:54 a.m. local time (AKST).

It occurred on the Denali fault line, which has been active for the past 48 hours. During this time, twelve other earthquakes have occurred, with the Magnitude 6.4 quake being the strongest so far.

According to the USGS, the quake does not appear to have affected any nearby population centres.

It occurred 224 km east-southeast of Attu Station, Alaska, at a depth of around 10 kilometres.

There is no tsunami threat, and USGS says it is unlikely this event caused any significant land or structural damages.

There is, however, potential for aftershocks.

Earthquake Today in Aceh, Indonesia

A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck just off the coast of Aceh in Indonesia on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, according to Indonesia's geophysics agency. The powerful tremor was felt in and around the northern Sumatra region, but authorities confirmed there is no tsunami potential following the seismic event.

Indonesia lies on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," one of the most seismically active regions in the world due to tectonic plate interactions along faults such as the Great Sumatran Fault near Sumatra. This makes earthquakes. This includes the recent 6.2 magnitude event relatively common.

"The purpose of GLADIO was to attack civilians, the people - women, children, innocent people, unknown people, far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the State and demand greater security. Under a strategy of tension, you 'destabilize in order to stabilize', to create tension within society and promote conservative, reactionary social and political tendencies."
