M5.5 earthquake strikes Rat Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska

"An earthquake with a magnitude of M5.5 was recorded at 10:50 UTC in the Rat Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska. The quake originated at a depth of 109.6 km (68.1 miles), based on data provided by USGS.
The coordinates place the epicenter within the Rat Islands segment of the western Aleutian Island chain, an isolated region of Alaska that lies along the northern edge of the Pacific Ocean. There are no major population centers nearby, as the area is primarily composed of uninhabited islands and rugged terrain.
Given its location, the region is characterized by limited infrastructure, with sparse airstrips and occasional maritime facilities serving scientific, military, and logistical purposes. There are no major highways or urban centers in proximity to the epicenter." W
