On June 25, 2026 at 03:16 UTC, a magnitude 2.6 intermediate depth earthquake struck 28 km NW of Ninilchik, Alaska, at a depth of 85.2 km and coordinates 60.2590°, -151.9660°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 120 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 37 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
