A strong magnitude-7.0 earthquake struck a remote area near the border between Alaska and the Canadian territory of Yukon on Saturday. The US Geological Survey said the quake hit about 230 miles northwest of Juneau, Alaska, and 155 miles west of Whitehorse, Yukon. There was no tsunami warning. Officials reported no immediate damage or injuries. In Whitehorse, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt Calista MacLeod said the detachment got two 911 calls. "It definitely was felt," MacLeod said. "There are a lot of people on social media, people felt it." Alison Bird, a seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, said the area most affected in Yukon is mountainous with few people. "Mostly people have reported things falling off shelves and walls," Bird said. "It doesn’t seem like we’ve seen anything in terms of structural damage." The closest Canadian community to the epicenter is Haines Junction, about 80 miles away, with a population of 1,049 as of March 2025. The quake was also 56 miles from Yakutat, Alaska, which has 662 residents. The earthquake happened at a depth of about 6 miles and was followed by several smaller aftershocks.
