7.1 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Kyushu, Japan
A powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Kyushu, Japan, causing minor injuries and triggering tsunami warnings, which were later lifted. The quake has raised concerns about potential future quakes associated with the Nankai Trough, prompting seismologists to reassess the risk level for major earthquakes in the region. Initially, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) mistakenly recorded the event as two separate quakes. Tsunami waves up to one meter were observed, and the Japanese government has set up a special task force to monitor the situation. Japan, located on four major tectonic plates, frequently experiences earthquakes, though strict building regulations often mitigate damage.
