7.6 EARTHQUAKE SHAKES JAPAN: 3 Meter Tsunami Alerts Issued, Coasts on Alert | Times Now World

A powerful magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck northern Japan late Monday night, rattling Aomori, Iwate and Hokkaido and triggering immediate tsunami warnings across the region. The Japan Meteorological Agency reported an upper-6 intensity on the seismic scale, indicating violent shaking in the hardest-hit areas. Authorities warned residents in low-lying coastal zones to evacuate as the offshore epicentre increased the likelihood of dangerous waves, with the JMA cautioning that tsunamis could reach up to three metres. Emergency protocols, sirens and transport suspensions were activated as disaster response teams assessed the impact and monitored sea-level changes. With aftershocks expected, officials stressed that vigilance remains crucial until all warnings are lifted. #japan #earthquake #tsunami #japannews #aomori #breakingnews #naturaldisaster #jma #asianews #tsunamiwarning #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld ​Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
