A strong earthquake hit in a remote region of the Aleutian Islands but officials say there are no reports of any damage.
The Alaska Earthquake Information Center says the 6.0 temblor struck around midnight Sunday in the middle of the Bering Sea, about 100 miles beneath the seabed.
Officials say there is no danger of a tsunami.
The quake was centered about 1,400 miles southwest of Anchorage and about 800 miles east of Russia.
Both the Earthquake Center and the dispatch office for Alaska's Emergency Coordination Center say they've received no reports of any damage.
