On October 24, 2025 at 19:05 UTC, a magnitude 3.0 intermediate depth earthquake struck 60 km WNW of Aleneva, Alaska, at a depth of 72.1 km and coordinates 58.3630°, -153.7640°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 477 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 71 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
