A magnitude-six earthquake struck the city of Awaji, located in western Japan, around 5:30a.m. Saturday.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said the epicenter of the earthquake was ten kilometers below the surface of Awaji island and that there was no risk of a tsunami.

Public broadcaster NHK said strong quakes of magnitudes ranging from four to six were detected in the Hyogo prefecture as well as Osaka and Tokyo, leading to minor injuries for ten people.

There were also reports of minor damage in Awaji island, including some damage to roofs, walls, and some items falling from shelves.

This marked the first earthquake measured at a magnitude-six or higher in the Hyogo prefecture since the Great Hanshin earthquake of 1995.
