Japan experienced its third consecutive day of seismic activity with a magnitude 6.5 earthquake striking Wednesday, primarily affecting eastern Aomori and Hokkaido prefectures at 30 kilometers depth. No tsunami threat was issued. This follows Monday's devastating 7.6 magnitude quake that injured 51 people, triggered 70-centimeter tsunami waves, and damaged buildings and roads. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a rare "megaquake advisory," warning of elevated chances for a magnitude-eight-plus quake within the next week. The JMA noted concerning parallels with 2011's magnitude 9.0 disaster, which was preceded by 7.3 tremors two days earlier. Coastal residents were advised to maintain emergency preparedness and evacuate quickly if necessary.(PC: The New York Times & ABC7)
