A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck northeastern Japan, off the coast of Fukushima, on Saturday night. More than 130 people have been reported injured and some 860,000 homes are without power. The Meteorological Agency believes this was an aftershock from the massive earthquake that hit the region in 2011.
The initial quake was followed by a series of aftershocks.
Back in 2011, a similar earthquake in the same region triggered a tsunami. That caused a severe nuclear accident. The Fukushima nuclear power plant had a meltdown that leaked radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean. The clean-up from that disaster will likely take another 30 to 40 years.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga has dismissed worries that Fukushima’s nuclear plant could suffer a new leak from this latest quake.
As residents began cleaning up the aftermath, officials are calling on people to remain on the alert for further aftershocks in the coming weeks.

What a pity.. but dont expect any help from Korea this time. No one in Korea has forgotten how you guys treated us after we helped you in 2012 after the mega tsunami. You guys have double population than us so overcome this disaster by yourself or find other countries for help. NO MERCY LEFT FOR YOU Japan

the climatic changes are now taking place all over the world. Nature changes a lot for several reasons. The first is because of the people. An intervention that brought nature almost to the end. And the second is cyclicality. If you are interested, I advise you to watch the conference Global Crisis. This already affects everyone.
