Light magnitude 4.6 earthquake 30 km southeast of Nabari, Japan

A magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Nabari, Nabari-shi, Mie, Japan, was reported only 11 minutes ago by NIED, considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world. The earthquake occurred at a great depth of 375.1 km beneath the epicenter early afternoon on Friday 8 January 2021 at 3:04 pm local time. 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.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Hisai-motomachi (pop. 41,600, 27 km away), Nabari (pop. 88,100, 30 km away), Ise (pop. 97,300, 34 km away), Tsu (pop. 163,500, 36 km away), Ueno-ebisumachi (pop. 61,600, 39 km away), Sakurai (pop. 63,000, 45 km away), Kameyama (pop. 39,900, 46 km away), Suzuka (pop. 191,500, 53 km away), and Kyoto (pop. 1,459,600, 83 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
