owerful 6.0 Quake Strikes Off Japan’s Coast Near Noda; No Immediate Damage Reported
A powerful magnitude 6.0 earthquake has struck off the coast of Japan near the city of Noda, shaking communities along the shoreline. The quake occurred 19.3 km below sea level, according to the USGS. While there have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties, authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
The tremor comes just weeks after a devastating 7.5 earthquake forced 90,000 residents to evacuate and triggered tsunami warnings across Hokkaido, Aomori, and Iwate — events that stirred painful memories of Japan’s 2011 disaster, when massive tsunamis claimed nearly 20,000 lives.
