Eastern Japan shaken by 5.8 quake

An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 struck eastern Japan at a depth of 78 kilometers, according to the German Centre for Earth Research. Japan is situated at the intersection of four tectonic plates along the Pacific Ring of Fire, making it constantly vulnerable to earthquakes. The country experiences hundreds of tremors each year, accounting for approximately 18% of all global earthquakes. The Japanese remember the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster, which resulted in the deaths or disappearance of around 18,500 people and the destruction of the Fukushima nuclear plant.
