India TV News  

Japan has issued its first-ever advisory on higher-than-usual risks of a megaquake after an earthquake of magnitude 7.1 jolted on Thursday at the edge of a tremulous seabed zone along the Pacific coast known as the Nankai Trough. Japan Meteorological Agency's Nankai Trough quake advisory panel said the chance of a bigger earthquake striking after a magnitude 7 tremor was once in a few hundred cases, relatively higher than regular times. Economic damage could total up to 220 trillion yen, or more than a third of Japan's annual gross domestic product, with long-lasting impacts on infrastructure and supply chains for coastal industrial powerhouses producing cars and other key Japanese products.
