2026-06-29 15:29:10 UTC (2 hours ago) · approx. 5:29 AM UTC-10 local
On June 29, 2026 at 15:29 UTC, a magnitude 3.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 51 km NNE of Aleneva, Alaska, at a depth of 68.7 km and coordinates 58.4880°, -152.5670°. The earthquake was reported felt by 1 personacross nearby locations, with a maximum shaking intensity of Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) 2.7 (weak).
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 11 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 296 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.

Common Questions
How strong was the magnitude 3.9 earthquake near Aleneva, Alaska?
The magnitude 3.9 earthquake that struck 51 km NNE of Aleneva, Alaska on June 29, 2026 at 15:29 UTC had a depth of 68.7 km. It was felt by 1 person with maximum shaking intensity of MMI 2.7 (weak). 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 3.9 earthquakes can continue for several days and gradually diminish over time.
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.
