Japan corret false quake alert
The Japanese Meteorological Agency issued a false warning of a 9.9 magnitude earthquake near the Kuril Islands just minutes after issuing it, and apologized for the mistake that temporarily disrupted public transportation and caused widespread confusion. In reality, the actual earthquake was a 6.9 magnitude tremor off the coast of the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula, at a depth of 160 kilometers. It is noted that the error resulted from a malfunction in determining the earthquake's epicenter. This mistake comes on the anniversary of the devastating 2011 earthquake, which measured 9.0 in magnitude and led to a tsunami disaster and approximately 18,500 deaths.
