A powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6 struck central Japan on Monday, causing widespread damage and triggering waves along the west coast and South Korea. The Japan Meteorological Agency initially issued a major tsunami warning but later downgraded it. It was the strongest quake in the region in over four decades. The earthquake led to the destruction of buildings, fires, power outages, and prompted evacuations in coastal areas. At least one person died, and there were reports of collapsed buildings and fires. The government ordered over 97,000 people in nine prefectures to evacuate. Rescue operations were underway, and concerns about additional quakes in the region persisted. The impact was felt in popular tourist destinations like Kanazawa.
Japan Translation:
月曜日、暫定マグニチュード7.6の強力な地震が日本中部を襲い、広範囲に被害をもたらし、西海岸と韓国に沿って波を引き起こした。 気象庁は当初大津波警報を発令していたが、後に警報を引き下げた。 この地域では過去40年以上で最も強い地震だった。 地震により、建物の倒壊、火災、停電が発生し、沿岸地域では避難が促されました。 少なくとも１人が死亡し、建物の倒壊や火災の報告もあった。 政府は９都府県の９万７０００人以上に避難を指示した。 救助活動が進行中だが、この地域でさらなる地震が発生するのではないかとの懸念が続いている。 金沢などの人気観光地でも影響が出た。
