A 7.3 earthquake occurred last night at around 11:07 in the offshore of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.



A strong shaking that was difficult to move on foot continued for dozens of seconds, but a vibration was detected in Tokyo as well.



950,000 households have suffered power outages so far due to the earthquake.



Local media such as NHK reported that more than 100 people were injured in the Tohoku region of Japan, mainly in Fukushima and Miyagi Prefecture.




In addition, roads were blocked due to a landslide in some areas of Fukushima, and some lines of the high-speed Shinkansen and JR lines were suspended.



Tokyo Electric Power Co., Ltd. said that there are no abnormalities in nuclear power plant facilities in the region, such as the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.



The Japan Meteorological Agency said the earthquake was analyzed as an aftershock of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, and said that although there is no fear of a tsunami, it is necessary to prepare for aftershocks for the next week.



The Korea Meteorological Administration said that the earthquake has no impact on the country.
