Tokyo, December 16: Japanese authorities on Monday lifted the megaquake advisory issued earlier following a magnitude 7.5 earthquake that struck offshore regions, but urged residents to remain cautious of aftershocks and potential tsunamis. The quake, which rattled several prefectures, caused minor structural damage and temporarily disrupted transportation networks.
Officials advised citizens to stay alert, avoid coastal areas, and follow safety protocols, emphasizing that aftershocks could occur in the coming days. Emergency services continue to monitor affected regions, conduct inspections, and provide assistance to those impacted by the tremor.
