A powerful 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck southern Ibaraki Prefecture in northeastern Japan today. The tremor, which originated at a depth of 70 kilometers, left more than 30 people injured, though officials confirmed that most sustained only minor wounds. No tsunami warning was issued following the seismic event.
The earthquake caused delays to express train services connecting to Tokyo and Narita Airport, although Shinkansen bullet train operations remained unaffected. The Japan Meteorological Agency has advised the public to remain vigilant, warning that moderate aftershocks are possible over the coming week.
