While the quake was located closer to Japan, it was felt more thousands of miles away in Eastern Europe, than it was just a couple hundred miles away.
In Moscow, buildings were evacuated, as the shaking was felt; and places further west than Russia reported shaking due to it.
A 6.2 aftershock, followed it a few hours later, and scientists expect more after shocks, as high as 7.0, over the next few days.
Very little damage was reported because of the quake, though it did seem to emit a small electro magnetic pulse, which affected electronics in the area closest to it.
