​A ‌magnitude 6.4 ​earthquake ⁠struck near the east ‌coast ‌of ‌Honshu, ⁠Japan, ⁠on Friday (May 15, 2026), the ​German Research ‌Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) ‌said.

The quake hit at 8:22 p.m. (1122 GMT) in Pacific waters off northern Miyagi prefecture, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, but there were no immediate reports of any damage.

The quake’s ​depth was ⁠10 kilometres (6.21 ‌miles) below the earth’s ‌surface, GFZ ​said.

The tremor comes after a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit near the northern region in April, which prompted a tsunami alert at the time.
