A powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan, on July 28th, triggering a 7 on the Japanese seismic scale in Uki city and Hikawa town. The quake caused building damage, fires, and left people stranded in shopping centers, while also disrupting transportation networks including bullet trains, railways, highways, and airports. A tsunami warning was initially issued for the Ariake and Yatsushiro Seas but was later lifted after observing no significant sea level changes. Subsequent earthquakes of magnitude 5 were recorded, indicating ongoing seismic activity. Japan's Meteorological Agency warns of a high risk of further strong aftershocks in the next 2-3 days. Mongolian citizens in Japan, particularly in Kumamoto and Kyushu, are advised to follow official guidance, avoid vulnerable areas, and prepare emergency supplies. Currently, around 40 Mongolian citizens reside in Kumamoto, and no reports of injuries have been received; they can contact the embassy at 03-3469-2088 for assistance.
