Small 3.9 quake hits near Kalifornsky, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, USA

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 Saturday, April 25th, 2026, at 4:36 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 Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.9 earthquake as well. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.9.
