According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the quake occurred at 2 a.m. in Ibaraki Prefecture, at a depth of 70 kilometers, an area of Japan prone to frequent quakes. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a preliminary magnitude of 5.8.
Twenty-three people were injured in four prefectures in the region — nine in Saitama, another nine in Kanagawa, four in Chiba and one in Ibaraki — according to prefectural officials.
