A shallow magnitude 5.3 earthquake was reported late at night near Kamisu, Kamisu-shi, Ibaraki, Japan.According to France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), the quake hit on Friday, May 1st, 2026, at 10:00 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.Our monitoring service identified a second report from Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.8.Based on the…
