Japan recently experienced a series of earthquakes, with tremors shaking the country's southwest region. A 6.6-magnitude quake left nine people with minor injuries, causing damage such as burst water pipes and small landslides. Despite concerns of a potential mega quake in the Nankai Trough, experts reassure the public that no imminent danger is signaled. The Japanese government panel confirmed no increased risk of a catastrophic undersea earthquake. In another incident, a lower 6 magnitude quake occurred in Ehime and Kochi prefectures, leaving 12 injured. Although eight individuals were injured in a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in southwestern Japan, fortunately, no major damage or tsunami was reported. The recent seismic activities serve as a reminder for residents to stay prepared for potential larger earthquakes. Japan and Kazakhstan collaborated to share earthquake risk lessons, emphasizing the importance of disaster readiness.
