(CNN) -- A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 struck off the coast of Japan on Sunday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The earthquake hit 468 kilometers (302 miles) south-southwest of Tokyo at a depth of 348 kilometers, according to the USGS.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a tsunami warning.
The USGS gave the quake a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 before downgrading it to 6.8.
Japan lies along the Pacific "ring of fire," an area of high seismic and volcanic activity stretching from New Zealand in the South Pacific up through Japan, across to Alaska and down the west coasts of North and South America.
Last year, a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit northeastern Japan, leaving thousands of people dead or missing. The March 11 earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves and sparked a nuclear crisis.

This reminds me of the predictions of Japan sinking into the sea.

I know a guy who lives in the center of Japan. I doubt he felt it, but maybe I should check anyway.

Oh god. Hopefully everyone in that region are safe.
If any members on Nation have family that live in that area, may your family be safe.

Earthquakes in Japan are nothing to worry about. The real danger is the tsunami.

At least there was no threat of tsunami. (From what I've read)

This.
Japan is near the Ring of Fire, after all.
