00:00Japan is experiencing a surge of seismic activity today, over 1,000 tremors in two weeks around the Tokara Islands, including a 5.5-magnitude quake that struck off Kyushu.
00:13On July 4th, multiple quakes shook the region, 5.4, 4.8, 4.7 magnitudes, followed by a 4.6-magnitude jolt early today.
00:26No tsunami warnings have been issued.
