Potres magnitude 6,1 po Richteru pogodio je u četvrtak ujutro po lokalnom vremenu istočnu obalu Japana, ali vlasti nisu objavile upozorenje na cunami.

Epicenar potresa bio je 281 kilometar istočno od grada Kamaishi, na otoku Honshu, najvećem od japanskih otoka, i na deset kilometara dubine, objavila je američka geološka služba (USGS).

Japanska meteorološka agencija objavila je da nije izdala upozorenje na cunami.

U Japanu koji se nalazi na sjecištu četiriju tektonskih ploča bilježi se svake godine 20 posto najsnažnijih potresa na Zemlji.

Štete su ipak vrlo ograničene zbog iznimno striktnih normi gradnje.
