'불의 고리' 환태평양 지진대도 흔들…일본 7.2 지진에 신칸센 중단 [MBN 뉴스7]

【 Anchor Comment 】 Twenty-six minutes after a powerful earthquake struck Venezuela, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake occurred in Japan. The strongest earthquake in 86 years also struck Northern California in the United States. All of these locations are within the Pacific Ring of Fire, a seismically active zone. Reporter Han Yeo-hye reports. 【 Reporter 】 "It's an earthquake. It's an earthquake." The earthquake alarm rings out, and furniture inside the house shakes violently. Items displayed in stores also tumble down from the strong impact. Around 7:30 AM today (the 25th), a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck off the coast of Iwate Prefecture in northern Honshu, Japan. Due to this earthquake, shaking of intensity 6-strong was observed in nearby Aomori Prefecture—a level where people cannot stand and may fall over. Although there was no tsunami damage, five people were injured in Aomori Prefecture, and service on some sections of the Shinkansen was suspended. ▶ Interview: Sanae Takaichi / Prime Minister of Japan "We are making every effort to implement emergency disaster response measures, including search and rescue operations." A magnitude 5.6 earthquake also occurred in Mendocino, Northern California, USA. Foreign media reported that this was the strongest earthquake to occur in the region since 1940. ▶ Interview: Laura Wingard / California Earthquake Victim "Glass shards were flying in all directions. So I tried to get out of the house." While large-scale earthquakes occurred in the US, Venezuela, and Japan within just a few hours, experts explain that there is no connection between them. However, both Honshu, Japan, where the earthquake occurred, and California, USA, are located within the Pacific Ring of Fire. Recently, seismic activity has been continuing along the Pacific coast, including a powerful magnitude 7.8 earthquake in the Philippines on the 8th that resulted in over 100 casualties.
