An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude 6.5 struck early Monday off the coast of Alaska.
The epicenter was about 71 miles (114 kilometers) east of the city of Chignik, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The depth was reported at 29 miles (46.3 km) deep.
There was no tsunami threat, according to the U.S. Tsunami Warning Center.
It comes just two months after thousands were forced to flee coastal areas after an 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Alaska, marking the largest in the US in 50 years.
While Monday’s earthquake hit 71 miles east of Chignik, the July earthquake hit 56 miles southeast of the town of Perryville, meaning the quakes were around 38 miles apart.
