Magnitude 6.6 earthquake - 27km E of Tomakomai, Japan.

A powerful earthquake has rocked the city of Sapporo in northern Japan just hours after large parts of the south of the country were battered by the biggest typhoon to hit in 25 years.

The Magnitude 6.7 (Downgraded to 6.6) quake struck 70 miles south of Sapporo on the island of Hokkaido, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).

Residents in the city were woken up by strong shaking shortly after 7pm BST (3am Thursday local time) as the earth moved for around 20 seconds.

Japanese TV showed damaged buildings and quoted police as saying some people had been trapped in collapsed structures.
