Magnitude 6.1 Earthquake Strikes Northern Japan, No Immediate Damage Reported

A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck northern Japan early Monday, specifically 11 miles west of the town of Sarabetsu on Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost main island. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 50 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Despite the strength of the quake, there have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The Japan Meteorological Agency did not issue a tsunami advisory following the tremor. This event follows a 7.7-magnitude earthquake that occurred a week prior, which led Japanese authorities to issue an advisory warning of a slightly increased risk of a megaquake in the northeastern coastal areas.
