An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred only 9 minutes ago 70 km northeast of Iwaki, Japan, Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 41.70 km beneath the epicenter near Iwaki, Iwaki-shi, Fukushima, Japan, early morning on Saturday, August 30th, 2025, at 1:51 am local time.

Weak shaking might have been felt in Minami-Soma (pop. 59,000) located 67 km from the epicenter, Iwaki (pop. 357,300) 70 km away, Soma (pop. 34,900) 81 km away, Tamura (pop. 35,200) 90 km away, Kitaibaraki (pop. 41,800) 95 km away, Koriyama (pop. 327,700) 109 km away, Fukushima (pop. 294,200) 113 km away, and Fukushima (pop. 294,200) 113 km away.
