Japan Earthquake 11.03.2011

A 6.2 magnitude earthquake Monday shook northeastern Japan, but no tsunami alert was triggered and no damage reported immediately, said the American Institute of Geophysics (USGS).

The earthquake occurred Monday at 3:51 pm local time (6:51 p.m. GMT Sunday) to 79 km southeast of Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture, near the area where the earthquake took place and the tsunami of 11 March, said the institute.

The epicenter was 35 km deep.

Japan was struck March 11 by an earthquake followed by a devastating tsunami, which killed some 22,000 people dead or missing and caused a very serious accident in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, badly damaged.
