The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 49.90 km beneath the epicenter in the morning on Thursday, April 2nd, 2026, at 9:52 am 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. 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 Ishinomaki (pop. 140,200) located 44 km from the epicenter, Higashimatsushima (pop. 39,100) 52 km away, Shiogama (pop. 52,700) 60 km away, Tagajo-shi (pop. 62,800) 63 km away, Natori-shi (pop. 78,700) 72 km away, Sendai (pop. 1,096,700) 74 km away, Tome (pop. 77,900) 76 km away, and Osaki (pop. 128,800) 78 km away.
