Japan's government issued its first ever megaquake warning after a powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake off the southern coast of Kyushu. This warning, prompted by heightened seismic activity in the Nankai trough, cautions residents of potential significant earthquakes and tsunami threats. Prime Minister Kishida canceled a planned trip for safety, while national warnings led to reduced train speeds and temporary shutdowns of semiconductor factories in the region. Authorities have urged preparedness, noting the historical risk of major earthquakes in this area.
