Deep Bonin Islands earthquake has no immediate damage tally

QNA reported a magnitude-6.5 earthquake near Japan’s Bonin Islands on October 25, citing the US Geological Survey. The reported depth was about 492 kilometres, with no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

“No immediate reports” describes the information available at publication, not a final all-clear. The event also should not automatically be equated with earlier Japanese disasters, which had their own locations, depths and impacts. The cited report does not announce or cancel a tsunami warning; readers need the relevant authorities’ current notices for that information.
