WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A magnitude 6.3 quake struck off Alaska's Aleutian Islands on Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake, shallow at a depth of 8.5 miles under the seabed, was centered 75 miles southeast of Nikolski.

The Pacific Tsunami Center said the quake did not trigger a tsunami.

The area is prone to quakes but 6.3 is greater than most temblors affecting the Aleutians.
