A magnitude 7.1 earthquake shakes parts of southern Japan, according to multiple reports. Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi urges residents to stay away from the coastline, using a message posted on X, while monitoring continues. The Fire and Disaster Management Agency says there are no reports of damage to major public facilities or infrastructure so far, though local authorities are still assessing the extent of any impact. Reports also indicate that no tsunami is detected following the quake. Emergency services and local governments are conducting inspections and checks to confirm conditions on the ground. Authorities continue to evaluate possible damage and respond to any follow-up incidents as information is updated. The situation remains under assessment, with officials focused on public safety guidance and verifying whether any effects extend beyond the initial quake area.
