日本东部地区周日早晨发生中等地震，震源位于茨城县南部，深度70公里1。日本气象厅测得地震级别为5.9级，美国地质调查局测得5.8级1。地震造成五个县至少37人受伤，其中东京15人、埼玉9人、神奈川8人、千叶4人、茨城1人1。大多数伤者为轻伤，主要原因是人们在睡眠中被地震惊醒后仓促下床时跌倒或撞伤1。其中一名80多岁的横滨女性从床上摔下来，髋部严重受伤1。

A moderate earthquake measuring 5.9 magnitude according to the Japan Meteorological Agency—or 5.8 according to the U.S. Geological Survey—struck eastern Japan on Sunday morning, with its epicenter in southern Ibaraki Prefecture at a depth of 70 kilometers.1 The temblor left at least 37 people injured across five prefectures, with Tokyo reporting 15 injured, Saitama 9, Kanagawa 8, Chiba 4, and Ibaraki 1.1 Most injuries were minor, sustained when people fell or collided with objects while getting out of bed in alarm.1 One woman in her eighties in Yokohama suffered serious hip injuries after falling from her bed.1
Infrastructure was minimally disrupted by the quake. East Japan Railway Company reported delays to express trains and services to Narita Airport, while the Shinkansen bullet train operated normally.1 A water pipe ruptured in Arakawa Ward in Tokyo.1 The Nuclear Regulation Authority confirmed that approximately 12 nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities experienced no irregularities.1 No tsunami threat was issued.1
The Japan Meteorological Agency warned residents to remain vigilant for additional moderate earthquakes over the next week.1
