A tsunami warning has been issued in a US state after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast. The alert includes the coastal areas of Alaska from Kennedy Entrance, Alaska, 40 miles southwest of Homer, to Unimak Pass, 80 miles northeast of Unalaska. Experts say that the warning means a tsunami with "significant inundation" is "expected or occurring".
The location of the quake was 45 miles south east of the remote Atka Village, according to the US Tsunami Warning System.
The National Tsunami Warning Centre added: "Warnings indicate that widespread dangerous coastal flooding accompanied by powerful currents are possible and may continue for several hours after the initial wave arrival." A video has been posted online of sirens going off in Old Harbor.
