September 12, 2015 04:25

A moderate earthquake hit Tokyo early today, waking residents and shaking buildings in the Japanese capital, but there was no immediate report of any damage.

The 5.4-magnitude quake, with its epicentre located in Tokyo Bay, struck at 5.49 am local time, according to the US Geological Survey.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said no tsunami warning had been issued, and that the quake was 70 kilometres deep.

Residents said the quake was not strong enough to knock things from shelves. It prompted a handful of reports of possible injuries, including a woman who complained about being hurt after falling from her bed, according to national broadcaster NHK.

It temporarily stopped Tokyo subways and trains, but service was quickly resumed.
