TOKYO - Japan issued a special advisory on April 20, warning of an increased risk of earthquakes at 8.0 magnitude or stronger, after a powerful jolt rattled the country’s north and prompted a tsunami warning. The Japan Meteorological Agency’s advisory came a few hours after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck in Pacific waters off northern Iwate prefecture at 4.53pm (3.53pm Singapore time). The jolt was so intense that it shook large buildings in the capital Tokyo, hundreds of kilometres from the epicentre. The meteorological agency said in a statement that “the likelihood of a new, huge earthquake occurring is relatively higher than during normal times”. Municipalities in the affected region issued non-compulsory evacuation directives to more than 182,000 residents, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency. Around 40 minutes after the quake, an 80cm tsunami wave hit a port in Kuji in Iwate, according to the weather agency, which had initially estimated the magnitude at 7.4 before revising it upwards. The agency said the later advisory about another possible earthquake only reflected an elevated risk, rather than providing any specific predictions.   “Although the probability is low, there is a possibility of another major earthquake occurring; therefore, please review your earthquake preparedness measures in these areas,” it said in a statement. There were no immediate reports of serious injuries or significant damage, Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said at a news conference. Footage from national broadcaster NHK showed no clearly visible damage around several ports in Iwate. But officials have reiterated that aftershocks could strike the area over the coming week, particularly within the next two to three days, potentially “causing even stronger shaking”.

Later in the evening, the authorities had downgraded tsunami warnings for waves up to 1m to advisories along the vast north-eastern Pacific coast, including in Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, and Fukushima prefectures. It later lifted these advisories altogether around midnight, according to Japanese news agency Kyodo. ‘Megaquake’ fears The prime minister’s office said it had set up a crisis management team, and the government was working to establish whether there were any casualties or serious property damage. “For those of you who live in areas for which the warnings have been issued, please evacuate to higher, safer places,” Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said.

There are no nuclear power plants currently in operation in the Hokkaido and Tohoku regions but Hokkaido Electric Power and Tohoku Electric Power have a number of shut-down nuclear power plants there. Tohoku Electric said it was checking the impact of the earthquake and tsunami on its Onagawa nuclear power plant. The Singapore Embassy in Tokyo advised Singaporeans to monitor local conditions closely and refer to the JMA website and NHK News for the latest updates, as well as for warnings and advisories. Japan is one of the world’s most seismically active countries, sitting on top of four major tectonic plates along the western edge of the Pacific “Ring of Fire”. The archipelago, home to around 125 million people, typically experiences around 1,500 jolts every year and accounts for about 18 per cent of the world’s earthquakes. The vast majority are mild, although the damage they cause varies according to their location and the depth below the Earth’s surface at which they strike. Japan is haunted by the memory of a massive 9.0-magnitude undersea quake in 2011, which triggered a tsunami that killed or left missing around 18,500 people and caused a devastating meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant. In 2024, the weather agency issued its first special advisory of a possible “megaquake” along the Nankai Trough. This 800km undersea trench is where the Philippine Sea oceanic tectonic plate is “subducting” – or slowly slipping – underneath the continental plate that Japan sits atop. The government has said a quake in the Nankai Trough and subsequent tsunami could kill as many as 298,000 people and cause up to US$2 trillion (S$2.54 trillion) in damage. Another week-long “megaquake” advisory was issued in December 2025 after a 7.5-magnitude tremor struck off the northern coast, injuring more than 40 people but causing no major damage.

A magnitude 5,7 earthquake struck North Central Timor in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province on Tuesday, 21 April 2026, with tremors felt across several areas, according to the country’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). The earthquake occurred at 10:17 Western Indonesia Time (WIB). BMKG’s updated analysis placed the epicentre at sea, at coordinates 9.22° south latitude and 124.16° east longitude, approximately 54 kilometres north-west of North Central Timor, at a depth of 60 kilometres. In an earlier report, the agency indicated the epicentre was around 67 kilometres north-west of the region at a depth of 31 kilometres. Subsequent analysis revised both the magnitude and depth of the quake. BMKG confirmed that the earthquake does not pose a tsunami threat. “This earthquake has no potential to trigger a tsunami,” the agency said in a statement. The quake was attributed to tectonic activity within the collision zone of the Indo-Australian Plate. According to BMKG’s Acting Director for Earthquakes and Tsunamis, Rahmat Triyono, the event involved a thrust fault mechanism and was classified as a shallow tectonic earthquake linked to subduction zone activity. Tremors were felt across multiple areas in East Nusa Tenggara with varying intensities on the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale. The strongest shaking was recorded in Atambua at levels III–IV MMI, where tremors are clearly felt indoors and may cause windows and doors to rattle, with the potential for minor damage to fragile items. In Maumere, shaking reached III MMI, indicating that vibrations were distinctly felt indoors, comparable to the passing of a heavy vehicle. Meanwhile, residents in Kupang City, Kupang Regency, Kefamenanu, Malaka, Soe, Lembata, Larantuka, Alor, and Ende reported shaking at levels II–III MMI. At these intensities, tremors may be felt by some people indoors, with light objects swaying. BMKG reported that, as of 10:45 WIB, one aftershock measuring magnitude 3.2 had been recorded. There have been no immediate reports of structural damage or casualties following the earthquake, according to information cited from Antara. Despite the absence of a tsunami threat, authorities have urged residents to remain vigilant. BMKG advised the public to stay alert to the possibility of further aftershocks, avoid unverified information, and keep a safe distance from buildings that may have been weakened or damaged by the quake. Indonesia lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire” and frequently experiences seismic activity due to its position on multiple tectonic plate boundaries.   https://theonlinecitizen.com/2026/04/21/magnitude-5-7-earthquake-hits-eastern-indonesia-tremors-felt-widely-no-tsunami-threat-reported
