Alaska rocked by powerful earthquake, no major damage or injury reported

The most powerful US earthquake in half a century left Alaska mostly unscathed, thanks to the remote location and depth of the epicentre, officials say. Seward, south of Anchorage was one of the places where residents were told to move to higher ground following the quake (file picture).

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage to property. Several Alaskan coastal communities were evacuated following the quake.
