Strong 6.5-magnitude quake hits off Japan's Bonin Islands

2010-12-23 05:07:14 GMT+7 (ICT)

TOKYO (BNO NEWS) -- A strong earthquake struck off Japan's Bonin Islands on early Thursday morning, seismologists said, but no tsunami warning was immediately issued.

The 6.5-magnitude earthquake at 7.49 a.m. local time (2149 GMT Wednesday) was centered approximately 146 kilometers (91 miles) east-northeast of Chichi-shima on the Bonin Islands, which are also known in Japan as the Ogasawara Islands. It struck about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) deep, making it a shallow earthquake, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).

No tsunami watches or warnings were immediately issued after the quake, which comes just 24 hours after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked the region.
