TOKYO—A strong earthquake hit off the coast of northeastern Japan late Saturday, shaking Fukushima, Miyagi, and other areas, but there was no threat of a tsunami, officials said.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said there were no irregularities at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, which experienced meltdowns following a massive quake and tsunami 10 years ago.
