A powerful 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Iwate Prefecture in northern Japan, shaking buildings, halting bullet trains, and triggering a tsunami advisory. The quake hit at a shallow depth of just 10 kilometers, making its impact even more intense. Waves up to 20cm were recorded, and although the tsunami alert was later lifted, authorities are warning that stronger aftershocks could follow.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has urged residents to stay away from the coast and remain alert. Power outages and temporary train suspensions have added to the tension, as people across the region wait to see what comes next.
