TOKYO – As Japan can’t come out of the crisis after the March 11 earthquake an tsunami yet and the curse of nuclear crisis is still haunting the people of Japan; another earthquake off the north-east coast of Japan has jolted the already ravaged region.
According to the US Geological Survey, an earthquake of 6.5-magnitude was struck Japan at 0723 on Monday (2223 GMT Sunday).
Reportedly the earthquake hit, 109km (67 miles) east of the severely-ravaged port city of Sendai, prompted a short warning of a possible small tsunami.
There have been no immediate reports of damage or injuries but the Japan Meteorological Agency alarmed that a tsunami of 50cm (18 inches) could strike Miyagi prefecture but later took back the tsunami alert.
