7.0-magnitude quake off east Japan, no tsunami alert
February 14, 2021
A strong 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck
late Saturday off the eastern coast of Japan but no tsunami warning was
issued, US and Japanese authorities said.
The USGS said the quake occurred at a depth of 54 kilometres (33 miles) in
the Pacific, off Fukushima — near the epicentre of a 2011 killer quake which
triggered a towering tsunami and killed more than 18,000.
