Earthquake hits central Alaska



DENALI, Alaska — An earthquake has struck central Alaska, but there are no reports of damage or injuries.

The Alaska Earthquake Information Center says the quake hit just before 4 a.m. Saturday with a preliminary magnitude of 4.4.

The center says the earthquake was centered about 70 miles west-southwest of Denali National Park, the home of the country's tallest mountain in Mount McKinley. The quake occurred about 77 miles below ground.

Last month, a magnitude-7.2 earthquake shook a large swath of the Aleutian Islands. The trembler on June 23 sent residents of small coastal towns to higher ground as officials issued a tsunami warning.

And on June 16, a 5.2 earthquake rocked Anchorage, Alaska's largest city. The quake occurred 30 miles below ground and rumbled for several seconds.
