Hasaki, Japan — A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck offshore east of Japan late Sunday night, shaking the Pacific waters off the coast of Hasaki.

What happened:

The quake hit at 10:52 PM Central time on Sunday, November 8, about 66 miles east-northeast of Hasaki, Japan. It struck at a depth of about 15 miles below the surface. The U.S. Geological Survey reviewed the magnitude and location shortly after it happened.

Impacts:

No tsunami warning was issued with this earthquake. No reports of shaking damage had come in yet, and no injuries were reported. The quake happened well offshore, which kept the strongest shaking away from land.

What to do:

If you feel shaking, drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall. After the shaking ends, check for hazards like broken glass and gas leaks, and be ready for aftershocks, which can follow a quake like this.
