Tokyo, August 01 (QNA) – A magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck Japan’s Aomori Prefecture on Saturday, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). There were no immediate reports of casualties or property damage.
Japan’s public broadcaster NHK reported that the earthquake occurred at a depth of approximately 80 kilometers. Authorities did not issue a tsunami warning following the tremor, indicating there was no immediate risk of tsunami waves.
Japan is one of the world’s most earthquake-prone countries, as it sits at the junction of four major tectonic plates along the Pacific Ring of Fire. The country also has around 100 active volcanoes, making it highly susceptible to seismic and volcanic activity. (QNA)
