Japan Earthquake: 7.1 magnitude quake hits southern Japan; tsunami warning issued

Two powerful earthquakes struck off the southern coast of Japan on Thursday. The US Geological Survey said the first quake had a magnitude of 6.9, followed by a second quake with a magnitude of 7.1. The seismic activity prompted the Japan Meteorological Agency to issue a tsunami warning. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the first quake registered an initial magnitude of 7.1 immediately, followed by a second quake less than a minute later. The first quake struck off the east coast of Japan's main southern island of Kyushu at a depth of about 30 kilometers. The second quake, which struck 20 kilometers northeast of Miyazaki, struck at a depth of 26 meters. The tsunami waves generated by the quake were estimated to be about one meter high. In response to the twin quakes, the Japanese government issued a warning of possible tsunami waves of up to one meter high along the southern coast of Kyushu and the nearby island of Shikoku. Meanwhile, the Japanese government has also set up a special task force for rescue operations. “The tsunami will strike repeatedly. Please do not enter the sea or approach the coast until the warning is lifted,” the Japan Meteorological Agency said on its website. Operators of nuclear plants in Kyushu and Shikoku are currently assessing their facilities for possible damage from the quakes. According to public broadcaster NHK, windows were reported to have been shattered at Miyazaki Airport, which is near the epicenter of the quake. Part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” Japan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone regions. A 9.0-magnitude quake and subsequent tsunami in March 2011 devastated large areas along Japan's northeastern coast, killing nearly 20,000 people and triggering nuclear meltdowns at Fukushima Daiichi. On Jan. 1, a 7.6-magnitude quake struck the north-central region of Noto, killing 241 people.
