Strong quake hits remote area in Alaska, no injuries

A strong 6.4 earthquake struck off the remote Andreanof Islands in Alaska today but there was no immediate risk of a tsunami, authorities said.

The temblor followed a series of quakes that shook the area early today, including one measuring 5.9 and another measuring 5.7, according to the US Geological Survey.

The Andreanof Islands are part of the Aleutian Islands chain in southwestern Alaska.

The area suffered a major 8.6 earthquake in 1957.

The latest quake struck 30 kilometers southwest of the Tanaga volcano.

The National Tsunami Warning Center said there was no immediate danger of a tsunami.
