A tsunami warning was issued after a 7.2 earthquake in the Alaska Peninsula region, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) has said.
The US Tsunami Warning System issued a tsunami warning for regions of the Pacific located close to the earthquake early on Sunday morning.
The quake was a relatively shallow one, striking at a depth of 9.3 km (5.78 miles), USGS said.
In a statement, the National Tsunami Warning Center previously said: “Tsunami warning in effect for South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula, Pacific coasts from Kennedy Entrance, Alaska (40 miles SW of Homer) to Unman Pass, Alaska (80 miles NE of Unalaska).
“For other US and Canadian Pacific coasts in North America, the level of tsunami danger is being evaluated.
“Further information will be provided in supplementary messages.”
The tsunami warning was later changed to an advisory notice shortly after 9am UK time.
The Alaska Earthquake Centre said the earthquake was felt widely throughout the Aleutian Islands, the Alaskan Peninsula, and Cook Inlet regions.
Two other quakes of 5.2 and 3.5 magnitudes, respectively, were also felt in the area on Sunday morning.
