（早报讯）日本东京和周边地区周四（7日）晚上发生6.1级地震。
日本气象厅（JMA）表示，这次地震发生在当地时间晚上10时41分左右（新加坡时间9时41分）。震中位于北纬35.6度，东经140.1度，深度为80公里。
这次地震在千叶县和东京县的一些地方录得5级以上的地震强度，日本的地震强度等级最高为7级。这一级别意味着震动可能对建筑物造成一些损害，并导致停电。
当局在地震两分钟后设立紧急小组。据电视报道，包括东京政府办公厅的一些高楼摇晃厉害，电梯动不了；品川车站出现停电，列车停驶。车站前面排了长长的人龙等计程车。
东京高级区的目黑和涉谷的表参道出现地下水管爆裂。埼玉县草加市一住宅发生大火患。
NHK电视台引述专家见解，报道东京首都圈出现这样深度的地震实属罕见，警告接下来一周必须留意余震。
到目前为止，当局并没有发布海啸警报，也暂未接到人员伤亡报告。

TOKYO (AP) – A powerful magnitude 5.9 earthquake shook the Tokyo area on Thursday night, slightly injuring at least five people and halting trains and subways. Officials said there was no major damage or danger of a tsunami.
The Meteorological Agency said the quake was centered in Chiba prefecture, just east of Tokyo, at a depth of 80 kilometers (48 miles).
It caused buildings to sway and hanging objects such as signs to swing violently. Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said there were no abnormalities at nuclear power facilities in the area.
Chiba prefectural police said two women in separate locations sprained their ankles when they were thrown to the floor during the quake. NHK public television said a commuter train partially derailed when it made an emergency stop, causing three passengers to fall and get slightly injured.
Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings said about 250 homes in downtown Tokyo temporarily lost power.
“Shinkansen” super express trains in and out of Tokyo were halted for safety checks but later resumed operation, East Japan Railway Co. said. Tokyo’s Yamanote loop line and subways also restarted.
Outside of Tokyo’s Shinagawa station, where local trains were temporarily halted, there was a long line of people trying to get taxis home.
Many elevators automatically stopped, including those at Tokyo’s metropolitan government building, temporarily trapping some people.
Fire and disaster officials said underground water pipes were damaged in dozens of locations in Tokyo. In one district, water was gushing from the ground.
New Prime Minister Fumio Kishida posted a message on Twitter urging people to “check the latest information and take action to protect your lives.”
Kishida returned to his office late Thursday to lead the government’s response.
