YOKOHAMA, Japan, Sept.
30 No injuries were reported after a moderately strong
earthquake struck Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture early
Monday.

The quake measured 4.9 on the Richter
Scale, the Mainichi Daily News said. The Meteorological
Agency said that while the early morning quake was quite
strong, there was no threat it would lead to tsunamis in
the area.

No reports of significant property
damage had been made since the quake
struck.

Based on the Japanese intensity scale,
the earthquake was strongest in the western portion of
the prefecture, where the quake's epicenter was thought
to have been based.

The Daily News said the
earthquake did not disrupt national train services and
all area expressways remained open despite the temblor.
