**Alaskan Coast Shaken by Magnitude 7.3 Earthquake, Tsunami Advisory Issued**

**Los Angeles, United States | July 17, 2025, 04:45 AM IST** – A significant earthquake struck off the coast of Alaska on Wednesday, prompting a tsunami advisory for South Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula. The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported the earthquake measured 7.3 on the Richter scale and occurred at approximately 12:37 local time (2037 GMT).

The epicenter of the quake was located about 87 kilometers south of Sand Point, a town on an Alaskan island, at a relatively shallow depth of 20 kilometers.

Initially, authorities issued a tsunami warning, but it was later downgraded to an advisory by the National Tsunami Warning Center (NTWC). The advisory covers Pacific coastal regions from Kennedy Entrance to Unimak Pass in Alaska. Residents in these areas were urged to move away from the water, beaches, harbors, and other vulnerable coastal areas. No tsunami warnings were issued for regions further away based on initial assessments.

Alaska’s location within the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire makes it prone to earthquakes. The state experienced a devastating 9.2 magnitude earthquake in 1964, the strongest ever recorded in North America, which triggered a deadly tsunami. A 7.2-magnitude quake hit off the Alaskan peninsula in July 2023, with no major damage reported following the tremor.
