A 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, triggering tremors felt in several prefectures. Authorities have reported four injuries as a result of the quake. The earthquake occurred near the Fukushima region, prompting a temporary assessment of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, but no irregularities were found. A tsunami advisory was briefly issued for parts of the coast but has since been lifted. Residents were urged to exercise caution and check for potential damage. The Japan Meteorological Agency is continuing to monitor the situation for potential aftershocks.
