🌊 A powerful magnitude-7.5 earthquake rocked Japan's Aomori region late Monday, injuring at least 30 people and forcing over 100,000 residents to evacuate. The quake, which struck off the coast on December 8, 2025, briefly triggered tsunami warnings across northern Japan—now lifted but leaving communities on high alert.
🚨 Local authorities described scenes of “controlled chaos” as evacuation orders spread through multiple prefectures. “Our priority is ensuring everyone’s safety,” said Aomori disaster response chief Hiroshi Tanaka. “We’re preparing for potential aftershocks this week.”
