No tsunami warnings were issued and there were no immediate reports of damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first earthquake happened at 9:57 a.m. local time on Sunday when a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck about 70 miles (113 km) southwest of Adak Island, which is part of the Andreanof Islands group of the Aleutian Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adak Island, with a population of about 300 people, is nearly 1,200 miles southwest of Anchorage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After several aftershocks, a second 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit the same area at 3:15 p.m. local time. This was followed by another series of aftershocks, including a 6.1 at 3:38 p.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey (<a href=\"https:\/\/earthquake.usgs.gov\/earthquakes\/map\/?currentFeatureId=us7000nx5z&amp;extent=47.20464,-185.36133&amp;extent=53.56641,-172.13379&amp;range=week&amp;magnitude=4.5&amp;listOnlyShown=true&amp;settings=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USGS<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Based on all available data, there is no tsunami threat from this earthquake,&#8221; the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in one of multiple statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/earthquake.alaska.edu\/earthquake-swarm-emerges-southwest-adak-island\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alaska Earthquake Center<\/a> said some people reported feeling light shaking from Sunday&#8217;s earthquake swarm. There were no immediate reports of damage. Aftershocks &#8211; particularly of magnitude 5 and below &#8211; are likely to continue for days and weeks to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Swarms of moderately large earthquakes are common in the Aleutians and do not necessarily portend anything more substantial,&#8221; Michael West, the director of the Alaska Earthquake Center, said in a statement. However, he added, &#8220;Because this area has been in, or on the edge, of numerous large historical earthquakes, we are keeping close watch on it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sparsely populated region of Alaska, which sits on the so-called &#8216;Pacific Ring of Fire&#8217;, is occasionally struck by powerful earthquakes.
