This moderate M5.2 earthquake was a deep-focus event, striking at 334 km beneath Shima, Japan. Moderate earthquakes are widely felt and can cause light damage near the epicenter, particularly to older or unreinforced structures.

At 334 km, this is a deep-focus earthquake. Deep events release enormous energy but produce weaker surface shaking than shallow earthquakes of similar magnitude, often felt over vast distances with less localized damage.
