Powerful quake rocks Tokyo region

TOKYO—A major 7.0-magnitude earthquake rocked Tokyo Sunday, Japan’s Meteorological Agency said, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injury and no tsunami warning was issued.

The quake struck at 2:28 p.m. (0528 GMT), the agency said. Its epicenter was located near Torishima, an island about 560 kilometers (350 miles) south of Tokyo. It was about 370 kilometres deep.

The mid-afternoon quake swayed buildings in Tokyo but it did not disrupt the final of the Emperor’s Cup football tournament under way at the National Stadium.
