5.2-magnitude strikes Japan's SE coast
Tokyo - ArabToday
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.2 struck late Thursday off the south coast of Japan, the weather agency said.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the offshore temblor struck at 11:53 p.m. local time at a latitude of 32.6 degrees north and a longitude of 132.1 degrees east.
The quake occurred at a provisional depth of 30 km, the JMA said.
The quake registered 4 on Japan's seismic scale which peaks at 7, in areas in Miyazaki, Kumamoto and Oita prefectures, the agency said.
The sizable tremor also registered in Kochi, Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Fukuoka and Saga prefecture on Japan's seismic intensity scale.
The magnitude-5.2 quake was quickly followed by a M4.0 quake at 12:08 a.m. which occurred at the same spot, believed by the weather agency to be an aftershock.
The JMA has not issued a tsunami alert or advisories as a result of the either quakes.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
