7.6 quake strikes northern Japan

A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan’s north-eastern Aomori region at 23:15 local time, prompting widespread evacuations and initial tsunami warnings.

Warnings were later downgraded to advisories after 40cm waves were recorded, according to British state media.

Local media report several injuries, suspended train services, and disrupted transport as authorities assess damage.

The government activated its crisis management centre, with officials stressing that rescue and relief operations are underway.

No abnormalities were detected at the Higashidori, Onagawa, or Fukushima nuclear sites.

Japan, one of the world’s most seismically active nations, continues to grapple with the risks underscored by the devastating 2011 Fukushima disaster.

  1. Japan has 33 nuclear reactors some shut down some restarted after Fukushima 2 under construction
    Obviously to assist and fuel the US Nuclear weapons program
    Maybe part of the surrender agreement

  2. In the meantime, Chernobyl’s sarcophagus has been hit with a Ukrainian drone, and has been breached.
    Radioactive particles & gasses are now freely escaping from what once was the reactor!
    BUT-
    Since the Ukrainians did this, YOU WON’T HEAR ANYTHING ON THE WESTERN MEDIA NEWS ABOUT IT..!
    The ICEA is on the scene, but have no emergency or long-term solutions to offer.
    The Russians will probably have a temporary fix in the next day or so…
    Once again, the Ukraine, like it’s J3wi$h / Zionist counterpart Israel, continues to violate established agreements!

    Besides, the Ukraine and it’s little delusional money-bilking J3wi$h dictator, are finished!

    NOTE TO NZ GOVERNMENT ‘OFFICIALS’ IN PARLIAMENT: STOP SENDING NEW ZEALAND TAXPAYER MONEY TO THE UKRAINE!
