An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.2 struck late Thursday off the south coast of Japan, the weather agency said.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the offshore temblor struck at 11:53 p.m. local time at a latitude of 32.6 degrees north and a longitude of 132.1 degrees east.
The quake occurred at a provisional depth of 30 km, the JMA said.
The quake registered 4 on Japan's seismic scale which peaks at 7, in areas in Miyazaki, Kumamoto and Oita prefectures, the agency said.
