A 6.7-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan early Sunday evening, prompting a tsunami advisory. Authorities later lifted the advisory after initial assessments indicated no immediate threat. The event underscores the continued seismic risks faced by Japan’s coastal regions.
Kuji Bay on the coast of Kuji city in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, was affected last year. While the exact impact of the recent earthquake on the region is still being assessed, officials have emphasized the importance of preparedness and response mechanisms in place to mitigate potential damage from future seismic events.
