On July 14, 2026 at 04:35 UTC, a magnitude 3.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 94 km SSW of Unalaska, Alaska, at a depth of 27.6 km and coordinates 53.0530°, -166.9160°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 97 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
