An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred in the morning on Wednesday, September 27th, 2023, at 7:21 am local time near Fukushima, Fukushima Shi, Japan, as reported by Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 51.2 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
