An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 occurred only 5 minutes ago 52 miles west of Lake Minchumina, Alaska, United States, the United States Geological Survey reported.The quake hit at a very shallow depth of 0.8 miles beneath the epicenter near Lake Minchumina, Yukon-Koyukuk, Alaska, USA, early afternoon on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026, at 2:15 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well.According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Lake Minchumina (pop. 13, 52 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.Earthquake data: Date & time: Jun 2, 2026 02:15 pm (Anchorage time) local time (2 Jun 2026 22:15 GMT)Magnitude: 3.6Depth: 1.30 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 64.01°N / 154.01°W (Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska, United States)Primary data source: USGS
