The center reported a magnitude 6.3 earthquake was recorded in the Fox Islands region, about 30 miles southeast of the community of Nikolski along Alaska’s Aleutian Island chain.
The quake hit about 7:22 a.m. local time and was recorded at a depth of 14 miles.
Thirteen minutes later, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake was recorded about 300 miles southeast of Kodiak, in the Gulf of Alaska. It was located at a depth of 26 miles.
Both quakes were felt in the Aleutian communities of Nikolski, Unalaska and Akutan.
The National Tsunami Warning Center said a tsunami was not expected from either earthquake.
