TOKYO: A magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck northern Japan near Fukushima prefecture late on Wednesday, killing four and injuring dozens of people, as well as derailing a bullet train and disrupting power.
Four people have died and 97 people have been injured, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said at a press conference Thursday morning. More than 15,000 buildings were still without power as of 10.45 am (8.45am Bangkok) in Japan’s northeastern region, while production at some companies was stopped.
