ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.2 shook the state's remote Aleutian Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

The Alaska Earthquake Information Center said the Thursday evening quake was felt through the central Aleutians and as far east as Dutch Harbor and Unalaska. There were no immediate reports of damage.

A magnitude 7.9 earthquake has occurred under the Pacific Ocean about 125 miles southwest of American Samoa.

The U.S. Geological Service says the earthquake occurred at a depth of about 21.7 miles into the earth's crust. The earthquake happened at 1:48 ET.

There haven't been any reports of a tsunami though that is a concern at this point.
