A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck off Japan's east coast, near Fukushima, causing strong shaking across the region and in Tokyo.
Despite its strength, no tsunami alert was issued, and the Fukushima nuclear plant reported no abnormalities, averting a repeat of the 2011 disaster.
Over 50 people sustained injuries, and around 950,000 homes experienced power outages, with minor damage including a highway landslide.
The quake, considered an aftershock of the devastating 2011 temblor, occurred just weeks before its 10th anniversary, prompting officials to caution residents about ongoing aftershocks.
