5.8 - NEAR EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN - 2016-04-20 12:19:45 UTC
The
nuclear power plant at Fukushima Japan, previously destroyed by an
earthquake and Tsunami, has been hit with a Magnitude 5.6 earthquake
at 8:19 AM eastern US time
Japan
was plunged into fresh panic today as a 6.1 magnitude tremor hit the
northern coast - the third major earthquake within
a week.
The
tremors struck near the northern island on Honshu around 60 miles
southeast on Sendai.
To
the dismay of rattled survivors, the latest quake happened close to
the site of the Fukushima nuclear disaster - which saw 15,000 killed
in March 2011.
No
tsunami warnings have been issued on this occasion.
It
comes after at least 48 people were killed when two cataclysmic
earthquakes ripped through the island of Kyushu - leaving houses
crumbled and survivors in shock.
