India TV News  

A massive earthquake struck Japan's north-central region of Noto on late Tuesday. The Japan Meteorological Agency said a magnitude 6.4 quake struck just off the western coast of the Noto Peninsula at a depth of 10 km. Earlier on January 1, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Noto region, killing more than 370 people and damaging roads and other infrastructure. Japan's NHK public television said no abnormality was reported Tuesday at a nuclear power plant on the northern tip of the Noto Peninsula. Two idled reactors at the Shika nuclear power plant suffered minor damage, though there was no radiation leak — rekindling concern about nuclear safety and emergency response in the region.
