A magnitude-6.7 earthquake rattled northeast Japan on Thursday morning, the Japan Meteorological Agency and U.S. Geological Survey reported. It was the same area of the Pacific where a massive magnitude 9 quake hit on March 11, triggering a deadly tsunami.
The Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning for Iwate Prefecture, but lifted it a short time later. The U.S. Pacific Tsunami warning center said that it did not expect a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami.
Shinkansen train services were temporarily suspended, while there was no new damge to the Onagawa nuclear power plant in Miyagi, south of Iwate, which has been out of operation since the March 11 disaster, NHK reported.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries in the quake that hit at 6:50 a.m. and was felt in Aomori and Akita prefectures as well. Its epicenter was 20 kilometers below the seabed off Iwate, some 524 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, the USGS said. It registered the quake at a depth of 32 kilometers.
