 Japan earthquake leaves two dead March 17, 2022 - 10:50 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A powerful earthquake hit north-east Japan on Wednesday, March 16 night, temporarily cutting power to two million homes. The magnitude 7.3 tremor struck the same region where a major earthquake triggered the Fukushima nuclear disaster 11 years ago. Two people died and at least 90 were injured, officials say, according to the BBC. In some areas it was too forceful for people to stand, and buildings rattled in the capital Tokyo, AFP news agency reports. The quake took place at 23:36 (14:36 GMT), at a depth of 57 kilometres (35.4 miles), Japanese authorities said. Aftershocks were said to be possible in Fukushima, Miyagi and Yamagata prefectures.
