The quake struck at 4:49 pm (0749 GMT) with its epicentre located off the Pacific coast some 170 kilometres (113 miles) northeast of Tokyo, the agency said. Its focus was about 50 kilometres below the seabed. The quake was strong enough to briefly shake buildings in Tokyo. Japan experiences 20 percent of the world's major earthquakes. A powerful quake in the northern prefecture of Miyagi on June 13 triggered landslides and killed 12 people. |
