7.3 Magnitude Earthquake in Japan Close to Fukushima

On Saturday, a powerful earthquake struck the east coast of Japan near Fukushima, just weeks before the 10th anniversary of the 2011 disaster. Authorities reported that about 50 people were injured, and the earthquake left one million homes without power. The quake occurred near the epicenter of an earthquake that hit the country almost ten years ago and triggered a tsunami that killed 18,000 people.

Japan's meteorological agency (JMA) said the earthquake was 7.3 magnitude and was felt strongly in Tokyo. However, a tsunami warning has yet to be issued.
