The earthquake hit in the morning on Saturday, September 14th, 2024, at 8:03 am local time at a shallow depth of 28 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 German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), which listed it as a magnitude 6.0 earthquake. Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc. In Koshima (pop. 1,200) located 52 km from the epicenter, Koseda (pop. 2,300) 58 km away, Miyanoura (pop. 6,500) 65 km away, and Nishinoomote (pop. 17,800) 89 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking. VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
