đź’¨ Abstract

An earthquake of magnitude 6.2 struck Japan's western Chugoku region, with the epicenter in eastern Shimane prefecture. No tsunami danger was reported. The Shimane Nuclear Power Station, about 32 km away, continued operations normally. The quake had a seismic intensity of upper-5, making movement difficult. Japan, a seismically active area, experiences about one-fifth of the world's magnitude 6 or greater earthquakes.
