Today news Tsunami warning lifted after latest earthquake hits Japan’s northeast

 Japan has been witnessing a series of tremors since Monday's 7.5 magnitude earthquake that left over 50 people injured. The country issued a megaquake warning for the first time the next day. The initial quake struck off the coast of Aomori and was followed by more than a dozen aftershocks. On Tuesday, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake was reported at 3.22 pm local time. The next day, a 5.7 aftershock hit near the east coast of Honshu, and then a 4.9 quake struck Hokkaido. 

Smaller temblors continue to be reported from various parts of the region. Meanwhile, the megaquake warning remains active till December 16. This means that a magnitude 8 or higher earthquake could slam the region any time before that, although it is just a prediction based on the Earthquake Early Warning system that was upgraded to detect any huge tremors.
