The Kyodo news agency reported that the authorities are confirming the situation of the nuclear power plant in Miyagi prefecture. The Chief Cabinet Secretary was holding a press conference to explain the earthquake situation. The Prime Minister also rushed to the Prime Minister’s residence and the government established an emergency center.

Mr. Saito Kiji, who runs a shop in front of Nakanoji in Soma city, Fukushima prefecture, told NHK: “My wife and I were at home and we heard a loud noise and the vibration lasted for a few minutes.

I heard the ambulance sirens intermittently nearby, and I hope the disaster does not increase in the future. “

Chairman Nao Hirata of the Government Earthquake Investigation Committee believes that, judging from the location of the earthquake, the earthquake was a replica of the 311 earthquake.

Saturday’s earthquake occurred a few weeks before the 10th anniversary of the great Fukushima earthquake on March 11, 2011. That year’s earthquake destroyed northeast Japan and triggered a large-scale tsunami.
