A magnitude 7.4 earthquake rocked northeastern Japan on March 16, 2022, leaving at least four people dead and thousands temporarily without power. The quake struck just off the coast of Fukushima prefecture at a depth of 60km (37 miles). Fukushima was the site of a deadly magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami 11 years ago. That disaster killed thousands and triggered a meltdown at a nuclear power plant. Japanese authorities are still assessing the extent of damage, but the quake caused the partial derailment of a bullet train, according to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
