Tokyo (Japan): Northern Japan was struck by an earthquake early on Saturday resulting in buildings shaking in Tokyo. No damage or injuries was reported and there was no risk of a tsunami.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said the quake measured 6.6 and hit at a depth of 60 kilometers (36 miles).
The quake was centred off the coast of Miyagi prefecture in northern Japan, the area devastated by the massive earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 that left about 20,000 people dead.
