Off the coast of Japan recorded a powerful earthquake of magnitude 5.3

The National Meteorological Administration of Japan, which also functions as a seismic service, reported an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 recorded off the southeastern coast of the island of Kyushu. The Ministry separately stressed that at the moment there is no threat of a tsunami.

The epicenter of the tremors was located at a shallow depth directly under the ocean floor. Seismic activity has led to significant rocking of residential buildings in Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. No damage or damage has yet been reported and the transport infrastructure continues to function normally.

Earlier, the China Seismological Center (CENC) reported an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 in the northwestern Chinese province of Qinghai. The incident came just days after a devastating tremor in the neighboring Tibet Autonomous Region.

The focus of this earthquake was at a depth of ten kilometers, which provoked panic among the population of mountain settlements and led to partial damage to rural infrastructure. Local authorities promptly sent rescue units, road services and medical teams to the affected areas to conduct a survey of the territory for possible landslides.

At present, the rescue services of China keep under constant control the increased seismic activity in the territory of the Tibetan plateau due to the continuing risk of repeated aftershocks.
