00:00A powerful 6.0 earthquake just struck Japan's east coast late Saturday night, and the world
00:05is watching.
00:06According to the National Center for Seismology, the quake hit near Honshu at 8.51 p.m. It struck
00:12at a depth of 50 km, shaking the region hard, but, so far, no casualties have been reported.
00:19Japan sits right on the Pacific Ring of Fire, making it one of the most earthquake-prone
00:24places on Earth.
00:25From the devastating 2011 Tohoku tsunami to the recent 2024 Noto quake, the country has
00:32seen it all.
00:33But Japan is also one of the most prepared nations.
00:36It has the world's densest seismic network, and while most countries use the Richter scale
00:41to measure quake magnitude, Japan uses the Shindo scale, which shows how intense the shaking
00:46feels in different areas.
00:48This quake is still a developing story, and experts are watching closely for aftershocks
00:53or tsunami risks.
00:54With its shaky past and world-class tech, Japan once again faces nature's fury, and stands
01:00ready.
01:01Stay tuned.
01:02The ground may have stopped shaking, but the story is just beginning.
