In a shocking turn of events, Japan experienced a series of earthquakes on Jan 1, with the toll rising to 48 and several others reported injured. The affected prefectures include Ishikawa, Niigata, Fukui, Toyama, and Gifu. The most powerful quake, measuring 7.5 in magnitude, struck central Japan’s Ishikawa Prefecture, catching many residents off guard.

The aftermath of the seismic activity has been severe, with 25 buildings, including houses, collapsing in Wajima City, as reported by fire department officials. Ongoing rescue operations are underway, with firefighters working tirelessly across various locations. A blaze in Kawai Town, which broke out on Monday, is no longer spreading, but firefighters are still engaged in efforts to extinguish the flames. Approximately 200 buildings, including shops and houses, are believed to have been affected around the popular tourist spot, Asaichi Street.

The earthquake, which occurred on the Noto Peninsula of Ishikawa prefecture around 4.10 pm (local time) at a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles), has prompted warnings of potential strong aftershocks in the coming week. Authorities emphasize heightened risk over the next two to three days, according to NHK World. Reports indicate that the quake has also impacted neighboring prefectures, with dozens of injuries reported in Niigata and Toyoma.

The Met agency disclosed that the region has experienced over 100 aftershocks since the initial quake. The Hokuriku Electric Power Company has taken precautionary measures by shutting down two generators at its Nanao Ota thermal power plant in Ishikawa Prefecture. Unfortunately, over 44,000 households in the prefecture are currently without power, further complicating the aftermath of this natural disaster.

As the affected communities grapple with the aftermath of this unexpected tragedy, rescue and relief efforts are ongoing, with authorities and emergency services working tirelessly to provide assistance and support to those in need. The resilience of the affected regions will undoubtedly be tested in the days and weeks ahead as they come together to rebuild and recover from the devastating impact of the earthquake.
