The quake struck at 1:34 p.m. (0434 GMT) off the Pacific coast of Miyagi prefecture, around the same area as the giant March 11 earthquake and tsunami, the United States Geological Survey said.

The Japan Meteorological Agency estimated the magnitude at 6.5.

The epicenter was 77 miles northeast of Sendai city, Miyagi's capital, the USGS said, estimating its depth at about 22 miles.

The quake didn't cause fresh damage to the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, according to its operator Tokyo Electric Power.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, while the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was 'no destructive widespread tsunami threat' although a local tsunami could result from a quake of this size."
