Small magnitude 3.9 quake hits 25 miles southeast of Kalifornsky, Alaska, United States early morning

The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.9 quake in the United States near Kalifornsky, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, only 2 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Friday, March 6th, 2026, at 6:31 am local time at a moderately shallow depth of 38 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.9 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Kasilof (pop. 550) located 21 miles from the epicenter, Funny River (pop. 1,100) 23 miles away, Cohoe (pop. 1,400) 23 miles away, Soldotna (pop. 4,500) 24 miles away, Kalifornsky (pop. 7,900) 25 miles away, Sterling (pop. 5,600) 25 miles away, Ridgeway (pop. 2,000) 27 miles away, and Kenai (pop. 7,700) 31 miles away.
