Tokyo: A powerful earthquake struck
near remote Japanese islands and
shook most of the country Saturday
evening, but it occurred well
beneath the earth's surface and did
not trigger a tsunami warning. Two
people suffered non-life-threatening
injuries, and there were no reports
of major damage.
The magnitude-8.5 offshore quake
struck off the Ogasawara islands at a
depth of 590 kilometers (370 miles),
the Japan Meteorological Agency
said. The US Geological Survey said
the quake had a magnitude of 7.8
and a depth of 678 kilometers (421
miles).
