Anchorage, Alaska: A 5.0-magnitude earthquake has rattled Alaska residents on New Year's Eve but no damage or injuries are reported.

The Alaska Earthquake Center says the quake occurred Monday around 6pm in the Cook Inlet region.

The center says the quake is an aftershock of a magnitude 7.0 Anchorage earthquake that struck on November 30.
