These reporters immediately locked in when news of a 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit the teleprompter. ⁠ ⁠ The quake struck off northern Japan on Monday, triggering a brief tsunami alert and raising concerns about a possible megaquake along coastal regions. The Cabinet Office and Japan Meteorological Agency said the probability of a megaquake has increased to 1% in the coming week, compared to the usual 0.1%, though officials emphasized this is not a prediction.⁠ ⁠ Authorities issued advisories for 182 towns along the northeastern coast, urging residents to stay prepared while continuing daily life. Sanae Takaichi called on residents to review evacuation routes, confirm shelters, and prepare emergency supplies. The quake also serves as a reminder of the devastating March 2011 disaster that led to a nuclear crisis in Fukushima.⁠ ⁠ 📽️Edited by: Gabe Jung⁠ 🤳Click our linkinbio to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news #reel #japan ...
