Eight reported injured after Japan quake

The epicentre of the quake, which hit at 11:14 pm Wednesday, was located between the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku, the US Geological Survey said. Japan experiences around 1,500 quakes every year. The vast majority are mild and even larger quakes usually cause little damage. Japan 's Nuclear Regulation Authority said the Ikata power plant in the area was operating as normal.'No abnormalities have been detected at the Ikata power plant... and the operation is continuing,' it said.

'I was about to go to bed when I felt the rumbling and knew a quake was coming. Then I felt the kind of jolt that I've never experienced in my life, and it kept shaking for 10 or 20 seconds,' a fisherman from the Ehime region told broadcaster NHK.'I was a bit panicky,' he said, adding that some small objects fell over in his house, although there was no major damage.
