Strong earthquake jolts northeastern Japan; no tsunami warning issued

By The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – 7 minutes ago

TOKYO - A strong earthquake has jolted northeastern Japan, the same region

devastated by March's massive quake and tsunami.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the Saturday

afternoon quake, and no tsunami warning was issued.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-6.4 quake was centred 22 miles (36

kilometres) below the sea bed in the Pacific Ocean, 257 miles (414 kilometres)

northeast of Tokyo — in the same area where more than 22,000 people were killed

or went missing after the March 11 quake and tsunami.
