translated from Spanish: There was an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 degrees in Japan

an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.6 on the Richter scale shook the North of Japan, near the city of Sapporo. Fortunately, by the time fatal victims were not recorded.

The epicenter of the phenomenon was located in the coastal town of Tomakomai. Thirteen minutes after the first quake, occurred a new earthquake of magnitude 5.3 on the Richter scale.

The epicentre of the new quake was a few kilometers north of the first. The USGS found that there is “little chance” that these tremors, by its magnitude and exposure of the population, have been able to cause damage or victims.

The earthquake took place one day after the “Jebi” typhoon, which left a total of 7 dead and 200 wounded in the wake of the strong gusts of wind that exceeded the 210 kilometers per hour.
