On June 18, 2025 at 22:59 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 18 km WSW of Dutch Harbor, Alaska, at a depth of 5.0 km and coordinates 53.8387°, -166.8122°.

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.
