Moderate Earthquake In Japan

A moderately strong earthquake struck off the coast of Japan's Fukushima on Thursday but no fresh damage to the crippled nuclear power plant there was reported and there was no risk of a tsunami, officials said.

Coastal residents fled to higher ground as a powerful earthquake sent a series of moderate tsunamis toward Japan's northeastern shore on Tuesday and fueled concerns about the Fukushima nuclear power plant destroyed by a much larger tsunami five year ago.

A pair of moderate earthquakes rattled northern and southern Japan on Monday, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, and there was no danger of a tsunami.

A moderate earthquake hit Tokyo early Saturday, waking residents and shaking buildings in the Japanese capital, but there was no immediate report of any damage.

Two moderate earthquakes struck off Japan's eastern coast near Fukushima in the early hours today, the US Geological Survey said, predicting a low chance of any major damage being caused.

A 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck northern Japan in the early hours of Sunday , the US Geological Survey said, predicting low chances of any major damage being caused.

A moderate earthquake hit eastern Japan today, shaking buildings in Tokyo, seismologists said, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.The 5.3-magnitude tremor quake struck 59 kilometres (37 miles) northeast of the capital at a depth of 60km at 9:01pm (1201 GMT), the US Geological Survey said.
