By Hollie SilvermanShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberTwo strong earthquakes struck Japan Tuesday at magnitudes of 5.4 and 4.7, according to data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
The first quake struck in the Pacific Ocean about 80 miles east-southeast from Kitaibaraki at a depth of around 6 miles, 10 km, the data shows. Kitaibaraki is about 110 miles northeast of Tokyo.
A little over an hour later, a second, stronger earthquake struck about 8 miles north of Aso. The second earthquake measured at a magnitude of 5.4, considered a strong earthquake.
The second quake hit at a shallow depth of about 6 miles, or 10 km, meaning that shaking would be felt stronger on the surface.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, and no tsunami warnings have been issued.
