A strong earthquake in western Japan rattled people awake as dawn broke Saturday, injuring at least two dozen people.

 

The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported the quake as magnitude 6.0, but later revised its reading to magnitude 5.8. The Japan Meteorological Agency ranked the quake at 6.0, but later revised their measurement to 6.3, according to Japan Today. The quake was fairly shallow but reports of the depth were not consistent. The USGS reported a depth of 5km (3.1 miles) but the Japan Meteorological Agency registered the quake at 15km (9.3 miles) deep.
