6.1 तीव्रता के भूकंप के तेज झटकों से हिली जापान की धरती, लोगों में दहशत
Japan has once again been shaken by seismic tremors. Early Monday morning, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 was recorded in northern Japan. Reassuringly, no reports of casualties or major damage have surfaced so far.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake’s epicenter was located approximately 18 kilometers west of Sarabetsu—a small town in Hokkaido—and its depth was measured at roughly 81 kilometers.
The intense tremors created an atmosphere of panic in the region. Many residents, gripped by fear, rushed out of their homes. In some areas, the shaking was so severe that people lost their balance, and instances of household items toppling over were reported. However, preliminary reports indicate that no major damage has been confirmed.
The Japan Meteorological Agency has also clarified that there is no risk of a tsunami following this earthquake, and no warnings have been issued.
It is reported that the earthquake struck around 5:24 AM on Monday (Japan time). According to experts, Japan is situated in a seismically highly active zone; consequently, such events occur frequently in the region.
Notably, just one week prior, a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 had struck near northern Japan, prompting the issuance of a temporary tsunami alert. At that time, experts had also warned of the potential risk of a major earthquake—or “megaquake”—striking the coastal regions.
