A 6.1-magnitude earthquake rattled Alaska's Aleutian Islands on Wednesday, US seismologists said, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The temblor struck about 34 kilometres north-northwest of Attu, Alaska, at around 1810 GMT, according to the US Geological Survey.
The quake struck at a relatively shallow depth of only about one kilometre.
The Aleutian Islands, a chain of more than 300 small volcanic islets off the coast of Alaska in the northern Pacific Ocean, comprise the westernmost territory of the United States.
