4.2 quake 11 Mar 7:57 pm (GMT +9)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.2 occurred early evening on Thursday 11 March 2021 at 7:57 pm local time near Matsumoto, Matsumoto Shi, Nagano, Japan, as reported by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located 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.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.

Weak shaking might have been felt in Toyoshina (pop. 27,800) located 21 km from the epicenter, Hotaka (pop. 33,200) 23 km away, Matsumoto (pop. 210,700) 24 km away, Shiojiri (pop. 67,200) 26 km away, Okaya (pop. 54,300) 35 km away, and Suwa (pop. 54,700) 41 km away.
