Japan has been struck by another strong earthquake — a 6.9-magnitude tremor hitting the same Pacific coastal region shaken by Monday’s 7.5 mega-quake. The new quake triggered a tsunami advisory, warning of 1-meter waves across Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, and Miyagi, leading to widespread evacuations before the alert was lifted two hours later.

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake has struck off the east coast of Honshu, Japan — just days after a much stronger 7.6 quake rattled the region. Seismic officials confirm the offshore tremor hit near Kuji, an area known for powerful quakes and tsunami history. No tsunami alert has been issued, but the quake has reignited fears that the Pacific Ring of Fire — the world’s most active seismic belt — is showing increased activity.

A powerful 7.5 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Aomori, Japan, has triggered a historic and terrifying warning. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has issued a rare "Megaquake Advisory" for the Hokkaido–Sanriku coast, the first of its kind for this region. Officials are urging the public to prepare for a temporarily heightened risk of a devastating Magnitude 8.0 or greater earthquake within the next week. While the immediate chance is statistically low (around 1% probability), the danger of a subsequent, catastrophic event is now "higher than normal," putting coastal communities on edge.

A powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake sent shockwaves through Hokkaido and Tohoku, plunging Japan into a night of chaos, freezing evacuations and viral footage that captured the raw force of the tremor. Buildings swayed violently, windows exploded, fishtanks toppled and water poured from high-rise floors as terrified residents rushed into the cold streets. At least 33 people have been injured, with cars plunging from elevated spots and multiple structures reporting damage amid ongoing aftershocks. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a megaquake alert, warning of heightened seismic risk along the Pacific coast from Hokkaido down to Chiba. WATCH
