Breaking News: Strong 7.3 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Alaska; Tsunami Alert Briefly Issued | ABP NEWS
A powerful earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale struck Alaska’s Old Harbor region, triggering panic among residents and briefly prompting a tsunami warning. The quake hit early morning, shaking buildings, vehicles, and homes. Videos from the area show parked cars swaying and wall-mounted items crashing to the ground due to the intense tremors. Terrified residents rushed outdoors, fearing aftershocks. Household items fell, and furniture shifted, but no casualties or significant damage have been reported so far. Authorities initially issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas, but it was later withdrawn after evaluation. Alaska, located along the seismically active Pacific “Ring of Fire,” frequently experiences such powerful earthquakes. Emergency services are on alert, and assessments are ongoing. ABP News continues to monitor this developing story and will bring updates as more details emerge.
