A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck Japan's Kyushu region on Monday, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. The tremor, centered in Miyazaki Prefecture, had a depth of 37 km and reached an intensity of lower 5 on Japan's 0–7 seismic scale. Authorities issued tsunami advisories for Miyazaki and Kochi prefectures, but no damage or casualties were reported. The Hyuga-Nada Sea region recorded the quake. Japan, situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire, frequently experiences seismic activity. This follows a series of devastating earthquakes, including a 7.1-magnitude quake in Tibet last week that left 126 dead and over 300 injured.
