Central Alaska

A magnitude 6.3 earthquake rattled a wide area of south-central Alaska, including Anchorage, on Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported, but there were no immediate reports of serious damage or injuries.

The US Defense Department on Friday announced plans to deploy a long-range radar in central Alaska that would help the US missile defence system better discern potential enemy missiles launched by Iran or North Korea and increase the capacity of interceptors in the ground in Alaska and California.

Several US flights were canceled at two Mexican airports on Friday after ash from a nearby volcano fell in central Mexico, authorities said.
