Breaking news reports indicate a massive 7.6 magnitude earthquake has struck the eastern coast of Japan's Amori Prefecture. A tsunami warning has been issued for the northeast coast, including Iwate and Hokkaido. The broadcast highlights that a 50-centimeter tsunami has already been recorded at Kuji Port. Evacuation orders are in place as authorities brace for potential aftershocks. An India Today correspondent notes that while Japan has disaster-resilient infrastructure due to its location on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire', the high magnitude has led to reported injuries. The exact casualty figures remain undeclared. The report emphasizes that standard operating procedures and drills are being followed by the public. The correspondent also references the 2011 Fukushima disaster, noting that widespread preparations have been made since then to withstand such natural calamities.
