The Japanese meteorological agency, which did not activate the tsunami warning, announced that a 6.1-magnitude earthquake was recorded on the central coast of Japan on Monday, which was effective in the capital Tokyo and other cities.
According to the agency, the epicenter of the earthquake was detected in Mie Province (centre) at a depth of 350 km.
According to the public television channel NHK, no damage or loss of life has been reported at the Fukushima nuclear power plants so far, and no problems have been identified.

Fukushima and Ibaraki prefectures, north of Tokyo, recorded strong shaking on the Japanese seismic scale – the regions hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter.
