JapanJMA 5+[1]
The 2015 Ogasawara earthquake was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake which struck offshore Japan 189 km (117 mi) west northwest of Chichi-jima in the Ogasawara Islands on May 30 at a depth of 664.0 km (412.6 mi).[1] The shaking of the earthquake was observed almost all over Japan,[2] as it was one of the largest deep-focus earthquakes recorded worldwide.[3][4][5][6]
Damage and casualties
The Associated Press agency reported "twelve people suffered minor injuries", and TEPCO stated that 400 customers lost electricity in Saitama Prefecture.[7] There were no deaths, but elevators stopped working in Tokyo and elsewhere.[8][9][10]
