Japan Earthquake LIVE: Japan Hit by 7.5 Earthquake; Tsunami Warnings Trigger Mass Evacuation

Japan was rocked by a powerful magnitude 7.5 earthquake off the coast of Aomori late on December 8, injuring at least 30 people and triggering widespread damage. The quake caused roads to split, shelves to collapse and thousands of homes to lose power in freezing winter temperatures. Tsunami warnings were briefly issued for waves up to three metres, prompting evacuation orders for nearly 90,000 residents across Aomori, Hokkaido and Iwate before being lifted. Train services were suspended as engineers inspected tracks, while officials warned that the risk of further strong quakes remains elevated. Japan sits on the Ring of Fire and experiences frequent seismic activity, including the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
