A 6.2-MAGNITUDE earthquake has hit off the coast of northeastern Japan, which is still reeling from the massive March 11 quake and tsunami, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).
The quake struck at 8.35am (9.25am AEST), 59 kilometres northeast of the Pacific coast city of Iwaki at a depth of nearly 38km, the USGS said.
