日本气象厅周五误发9.9级地震警报，据称是在俄罗斯堪察加半岛发生6.9级震动之后发出的，随后撤回了警报。日本时报报道称，该误报于周五下午（当地时间）发出，曾预测日本北部、东部和中部将出现强烈震动。BNO新闻报道称，早期警报显示将震源定位在千岛群岛地区，估计震级为9.9级，震源深度为140公里（87英里）。
The Japan Meteorological Agency on Friday mistakenly sent out a 9.9-magnitude earthquake alert, reportedly after a 6.9 tremor hit Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, later withdrawing the warning. The false warning was issued on Friday afternoon (local time), and had forecast strong shaking across northern, eastern and central Japan, Japan Times reported. An early-warning display identified the location as the Kuril Islands region and showed an estimated magnitude of 9.9 at a depth of 140 kilometers (87 miles), BNO News reported.'
警报在两分钟内被撤回。据日本时报报道，实际发生的6.9级地震震中位于堪察加半岛附近，发生时间约为当地时间12时36分。随后发出警报，导致公共广播和手机发出警报声。NHK报道称，误报于日本时间约12时36分发出，12时48分被撤回。该误报据称曾覆盖从北海道到东海地区的广大区域。日本气象厅称，在几分钟内撤回警报后，表示其对地震震级进行了高估。
Alert retracted within two minutes'The actual earthquake of 6.9 magnitude, centered off the Kamchatka Peninsula, had occurred at around 12:36 pm (local time). Following this, a warning was issued, setting off alarms on public speakers and mobile phones, according to the Japan Times. The alert was mistakenly issued at approximately 12.36 pm in Japan and canceled at 12.48 pm, NHK reported. The false emergency warning had allegedly covered a large area from Hokkaido to the Tokai region. Retracting the alert within minutes, the JMA stated it had overestimated the magnitude of the quake.
此次6.9级地震并未在日本造成任何震感，震动后也未发布海啸警报。美国地质调查局称，若发生9.9级地震，将是有史以来记录的最大地震，其震级将超过1960年智利发生的9.5级地震。其释放的能量将约为当天堪察加半岛实际发生的6.9级地震的32000倍。俄罗斯堪察加半岛发生地震。美国地质调查局表示，周五俄罗斯堪察加半岛地区发生了一次6.9级地震。
The 6.9-magnitude quake did not produce any shaking in Japan and no tsunami warnings were issued after tremors. A magnitude 9.9 earthquake would be the largest ever recorded, exceeding the magnitude 9.5 quake that struck Chile in 1960, according to the USGS. It would release approximately 32,000 times as much energy as the actual 6.9 magnitude quake which struck Kamchatka on Friday. Quake strikes Russia's Kamchatka PeninsulaThe US Geological Survey (USGS) said an earthquake of magnitude 6.9 struck Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula region on Friday.
震源深度为135公里（86.99英里），发生时间约为世界协调时3时35分。欧洲-地中海地震中心曾将该地震震级初步计算为7级，后更新为6.9级。该中心曾将震源深度计算为130公里。
The quake was at a depth of 135 km (86.99 miles) and took place at about 3.35 am (UTC). The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) had calculated the depth of the quake at 130 km. The EMSC had earlier calculated the magnitude of the quake as 7, but later updated it to 6.9.
欧洲地中海地震中心表示，震中位于俄罗斯彼得罗巴甫洛夫斯克-堪察茨克以南偏西（SSW）方向146公里处，以及俄罗斯奥泽尔诺夫斯基以北偏东（NNE）方向80公里处。地震发生后，未发布海啸警报，美国国家海啸警报中心表示，余震后没有危险。
The epicenter was 146 km between south and south-west (SSW) of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Russia and 80 km between north and norht-east(NNE) of Ozernovskiy in Russia, EMSC said. No tsunami alert was issued in the immediate aftermath of the quake, with the US National Tsunami Warning Center saying there was no danger following the tremors.
