A powerful magnitude-7.3 earthquake rattled Fukushima Prefecture in northeastern Japan late Saturday, reviving memories of the devastating 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake. The tremor, centered 240 kilometers from Tokyo, caused cracked walls, shattered windows, and a landslide, but no tsunami warnings were issued. ⚠️
Over 150 people sustained injuries, though miraculously, no fatalities were reported. Footage captured by a CGTN stringer showed shaken residents recounting their experiences. 'It felt like the ground was rolling beneath us,' one local shared, describing the eerie familiarity of the event.
While the quake triggered landslides and disrupted transportation, Japan's advanced early-warning systems helped minimize chaos. Authorities are now assessing structural damage and urging residents to prepare for aftershocks. 🏙️🔍
