Buildings shake as quake hits Japan, no damage reported - Japan - nature - Asia - earthquake


A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.2 hit off the coast of northeastern Japan on Wednesday, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said.



A tsunami warning of up to 50 cm was issued for northeastern Japan, public broadcaster NHK reported. Buildings shook in Tokyo but no damage was immediately reported.

The focus of the tremor was 10 km (6 miles) below the surface of the earth, off the coast of Aomori prefecture, NHK said.

Tohoku Electric Power said its Onagawa nuclear plant was operating normally after the quake. Tokyo Electric Power also said there was no impact on its power plants in the region.
