Magnitude 6.4 Earthquake Strikes Japan's Noto Peninsula

The quake caused no injuries, damage, or tsunami threat, but the region is still recovering from a deadly January earthquake.

A magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck off the western coast of Japan's Noto Peninsula late on Tuesday night at a depth of 10 kilometers.
The Japan Meteorological Agency confirmed there was no tsunami threat or immediate reports of injuries or significant damage.
The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the quake's magnitude as 6.1, slightly lower than Japan's measurement.
Two inactive reactors at the Shika nuclear power plant sustained minor damage, but no radiation leaks were reported, renewing concerns about nuclear safety in the region.
The Noto Peninsula is still recovering from a deadly 7.6 magnitude earthquake on January 1, 2024, which claimed over 370 lives and caused significant infrastructure damage.
