A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck Costa Rica on Monday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The quake's epicenter was nearly 50 miles (75 kilometers) south of the capital city, San Jose, the survey said. The quake was about 17 miles (28 kilometers) below the Earth's surface, and its epicenter was just off the country's southwestern coast.

It struck about 4:55 a.m. local time (5:55 a.m. ET), according to the geological survey.

There were no immediate reports of damages or injuries.

The agency estimated a higher magnitude for the quake earlier Monday in a preliminary reading.

SAN FRANCISCO - Some people in the San Francisco Bay area were awakened by an earthquake, though there have been no damage reports.

A U.S. Geological Survey computer-generated report says the magnitude-4.0 quake struck at 5:33 a.m. Monday and was centered eight miles north of San Francisco in the El Cerrito area.

Bay Area Rapid Transit trains are delayed about 10 minutes because tracks had to be inspected.

San Francisco police Officer Aldie Esparza says the Office of Emergency Management hasn't received any damage reports.

Esparza says police communications center employees described it as a light swaying motion, noting the building is on rollers.

Esparza was asleep at home and describes it as a sharp jolt that woke him up.

A California Highway Patrol dispatcher says the quake was felt throughout San Francisco.

A 6.8-magnitude earthquake shook northeastern Japan on Wednesday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The Japanese Meteorological Agency issued a brief tsunami advisory, warning of a half-meter wave. The tsunami advisory was called off a short time after the agency issued it.

The quake was centered about 270 kilometers (170 miles) off the east coast.

There were no immediate reports of damage, police said.

This temblor comes three days after the one-year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that killed thousands in Japan, and triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in a quarter century.
