Magnitude 5.0 earthquake strikes near Ishigaki, Ishigaki-shi, Okinawa, Japan![](https://www.volcanodiscovery.de/uploads/pics/quakemap8819262.jpg) 5.0 quake 85 Km SSE of Yonakuni, Japan, Feb 2, 2024 07:26 am (GMT +9) The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 5.0 quake in Japan near Ishigaki, Ishigaki-shi, Okinawa, only 22 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Friday, February 2nd, 2024, at 7:26 am local time at a shallow depth of 24 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. A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 5.0 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 4.9, and France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.0. Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy. Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Yonakuni (pop. 1,700) located 86 km from the epicenter, and Ishigaki (pop. 44,800) 109 km away. VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.
