M3.3 Earthquake 99 km SSW of Unalaska, Alaska — June 13, 2026
2026-06-13 10:41:38 UTC (2 days ago) · approx. 11:41 PM UTC-11 local
On June 13, 2026 at 10:41 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 99 km SSW of Unalaska, Alaska, at a depth of 20.2 km and coordinates 53.0130°, -166.9370°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
This earthquake is part of an ongoing aftershock sequence following the magnitude 5.0 mainshock that occurred 2 days ago 93 km SSW of Unalaska, Alaska. Since the mainshock, the USGS has recorded 7 aftershocks in this area. Aftershock activity is expected to continue for days to weeks as stresses on surrounding faults redistribute.

Common Questions
How strong was the magnitude 3.3 earthquake near Unalaska, Alaska?
The magnitude 3.3 earthquake that struck 99 km SSW of Unalaska, Alaska on June 13, 2026 at 10:41 UTC had a depth of 20.2 km. For context, this was a minor earthquake typically detected only by instruments.
Were there aftershocks?
Aftershock activity is monitored continuously by the USGS. Aftershock sequences from magnitude 3.3 earthquakes can continue for several days and gradually diminish over time.
Is this the same earthquake as the M5.0 one earlier?
No. This magnitude 3.3 earthquake is an aftershock of the larger magnitude 5.0 mainshock that occurred earlier 93 km SSW of Unalaska, Alaska. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes triggered by stress changes from the mainshock.
What should I do after an earthquake?
If you were in the affected area: check yourself and others for injuries, inspect your home for damage, and be prepared for aftershocks. For detailed guidance, see our earthquake safety guide and emergency planning resources.
