Japan was shaken near Tatsugo, Ōshima-gun, Kagoshima, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.0 only 18 minutes ago, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 27.76 km beneath the epicenter near Tatsugo, Ōshima-gun, Kagoshima, Japan, early afternoon on Friday, April 11th, 2025, at 2:06 pm local time. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. 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 4.9 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.0, Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) at magnitude 4.8, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 4.9.
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 Tatsugo (pop. 6,000) located 115 km from the epicenter.
