Posted: Updated:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Coastal areas of southern Alaska are under a tsunami warning after a strong earthquake shook an island off the west coast of Canada.

The U.S. Geological Survey says a 7.7-magnitude earthquake shook the Queen Charlotte Islands area on Saturday night, followed by a 5.8-magnitude aftershock several minutes later.

The National Weather Service updated its warning to include only some areas of western Canada and some Alaska cities, including Craig and Sitka.
