An 8.5 magnitude earthquake strikes the U.S.

An 8.2 magnitude earthquake has struck the coast of Alaska

The shallow earthquake struck the Alaskan peninsula at around 10.15 pm local time. Tsunami warnings have been posted across the region.

There were no immediate reports on loss of property or life. But the United States Geological Survey says the earthquake struck at a depth of 35 kilometers.

It is the largest earthquake to hit the United States since 1965. Alaska’s National Tsunami Warning Center issued warnings for several coastal regions, including a “tsunami watch” for Hawaii.

The tremor struck about 91 kilometers east-to-southeast of Perryville in Alaska. Several aftershocks were detected—including two above a magnitude of 6.0.

New Zealand authorities are also on high alert and investigating the risk of a tsunami.

We are assessing whether the M8.1 ALASKA PENINSULA earthquake poses any tsunami threat to New Zealand. If a tsunami has been generated it is not likely to arrive in New Zealand for at least 12 hours hours.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
