Another blow to Japan as the United States issued a warning
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Japan Meteorological Agency on Thursday reported that the northeastern region of the country Fukushima was hit by a Magnitude-6.0 earthquake, with no prior warning from the Agency.

It was gathered in the Morning of Thursday that the sudden incident has yet to record, damages or loss of life in an event that was felt 40 kilometers away from the site and also was felt in the country’s capital.
However, ascertaining the level of destruction after the incident the operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant claimed “no abnormalities” had been detected at the stricken plant or others in the region.

The Asian country is one of the world’s leading tectonically active countries that have strict standards in building and designed to ensure structures stand worthy of the most dreadful Quakes.

The archipelago, home to around 125 million people, experiences around 1,500 jolts every year, the vast majority of which are mild.

Meanwhile, the Geological Survey of the United States measures Thursday’s quake at 6.1, with a depth of 40.1 kilometers, this comes after at least nine citizens were reportedly killed and more than 1,000 injured by a powerful quake in Taiwan.

The 7.4 quake magnitude destroyed dozens of structures and buildings on Wednesday in Taiwan and promoted tsunami warnings as far as Japan and the Philippines were concerned.

Recall that a record of 9.0- Magnitude was the toughest earthquake that rocked the undersea jolt in March 2011 at the Northeast coast of the country paving the way for a tsunami that left around 18,500 people dead or missing.

The 2011 catastrophe also sent three reactors into meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant, causing Japan’s worst post-war disaster and the most serious nuclear accident since Chernobyl.

Almost 16.9 trillion yen ($112 billion) was used to face the tragedy in 2011 which does not include the hazardous decommissioning of the Fukushima facility, which is expected to take decades.
