The earthquake hit around 21:19 local time with an epicenter in Miyazaki. Japan is often hit by an earthquake because of its position along the “Fire Ring” – the arc of volcanoes and breakdown lines in the Pacific Basin.
“Tsunami can hit repeatedly. Please do not come to the sea or drive near coastal areas,” wrote a Japanese meteorological agency on X.
According to a Japanese meteorological agency, a warning was issued by tsunami for prefecture Miyazaki, the southwestern island of Kyushhu and the nearby prefecture of Kochi. The inhabitants were supposed to stay away from the coastal areas because of the imminent threat.
