Moderate magnitude 4.4 quake hits 21 km west of Hadano, Japan in the evening

An intermediate to deep magnitude 4.4 earthquake was reported in the evening near Hadano, Hadano-shi, Kanagawa, Japan.
According to the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, the quake hit on Tuesday, October 24th, 2023, at 9:30 pm local time at an intermediate to considerable depth of 170 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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.
