6.1 Quake hits Kuril Islands North of Japan A strong earthquake has hit the Kuril Islands that sit on the border between Russia and Japan in the Pacific Ocean. According to the Russian seismological observatory, the 6.1 magnitude quake struck at about 10:20 pm local time, with an epicenter some 270-kilometers east of the islands. No tsunami warnings have been issued, and there are no immediate reports of casualties.
