A 5.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan’s Honshu
island on Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey said,
shaking Fukushima where crippled nuclear power
plants are located, but local media said there was
no tsunami warning.
USGS said the quake’s epicenter was located 42
miles (68 km) east-northeast of Iwaki on Honshu. It
was measured at a depth of 22.9 miles (37 km).
A spokesman for Tokyo Electric Power, which owns
the nuclear plants, said no irregularities have been
found at its Fukushkma Daiichi or Daini plants.
The national broadcaster NHK said there was no
tsunami warning, and there were no immediate
reports of casualties or serious damage.
The quake also jolted Fukushima’s neighboring
areas on Japan’s pacific coast.
