Japan was hit by a strong earthquake, a 6.0 magnitude for the second straight day on Saturday, August 20, 2016.  There were no reports of damage or casualties recorded and also tsunami warning.

Reports according to US Geological Survey (USGS), the epicenter of the strong earthquake was off the coast of Northern Japan, 167 kilometers (103 miles) from Miyako City at about 9:07 pm.

The quake came one day at a 5.3 magnitude hitting Northeastern Japan off the coast of Ibaraki prefecture, just South of Fukushima.

The Japan Meteorological Agency also confirmed that there was no threat of a tsunami following the quake which had a depth of 10 kilometers.

They also added that the partly damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that was destroyed by a massive 2011 earthquake-generated tsunami and which is currently decommissioned has not been affected and no show of irregularities in radiation levels following the quake last Saturday.

Buildings in Tokyo were shaken by the quake. Japan sits by the four tectonic plates and experiences a number of strong earthquakes every year but despite the strict enforcement’s of building codes, it even affects and does little damage.
