According to a report by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) cited by a TTXVN correspondent in Tokyo, the earthquake occurred off the coast of Iwate Prefecture at a depth of approximately 50km. The tremors were clearly felt in many areas in the northeastern region, including Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, and Akita. Authorities said the earthquake caused minor sea level fluctuations along the Japanese coast, but no tsunami warning was issued.
According to the Japan Nuclear Regulatory Authority, no abnormalities have been detected at nuclear facilities in the region following the earthquake, including the Higashidori nuclear power plant in Aomori Prefecture, the Onagawa nuclear power plant in Miyagi Prefecture, and the Rokkasho nuclear fuel reprocessing facility in Aomori. Tohoku Electric Power Company, which operates the Higashidori plant, also confirmed that the facility was undamaged.
The earthquake has affected transportation in the northeastern region. According to East Japan Railway Company (JR East), Shinkansen bullet train services between Tokyo and Aomori have been temporarily suspended for safety checks.
In Tokyo, the Japanese government quickly established a response office at the Crisis Management Center under the Prime Minister's Office to coordinate among ministries, agencies, and local authorities in assessing the situation and responding to emergencies.
