Magnitude-6.1 quake hits off Tokyo, no tsunami alert issued
The Japan Meteorological Agency said no tsunami warning was issued after the quake, and officials reported no immediate damage or injuries.
- A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck offshore eastern Japan at 7:39 p.m. local time on Friday, the Japan Meteorological Agency reported; authorities issued no tsunami warnings or advisories.
- Japan sits atop four major tectonic plates along the western edge of the Pacific 'Ring of Fire,' accounting for about 18 per cent of the world's earthquakes.
- The JMA recorded seismic intensity 3, meaning 'almost everyone indoors feels the shaking,' while the United States Geological Survey placed the epicenter roughly 90 miles southeast of Hasaki at 18 miles depth.
- Authorities reported no immediate injuries or structural damage, and the Geological Survey issued a green PAGER alert indicating low likelihood of casualties.
- The event occurred about 375 kilometers south of the magnitude 9.1 earthquake that struck Japan 15 years ago; frequent seismic activity ensures regional infrastructure is engineered to withstand such tremors.
