WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Another 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the
Japanese coast on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported, hours
after another quake of similar strength killed at least seven people in
Japan and triggered a small leak of radioactive materials from a nuclear
plant.

Reuters witnesses in Tokyo reported buildings swayed in the city after
the latest quake at 1417 GMT, but there were no immediate reports of
damage after the deep quake.
