13 January 2025 ko, southwestern Japan ke Miyazaki Prefecture mein ek significant bhukamp aaya, jiski magnitude 6.9 thi. Isne turant tsunami warnings ko janm diya, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) ke anusar. Yeh bhukamp Kyushu island ke southwestern hisse mein 9:19 p.m. local time par hua, aur iske baad kareeb ke Kochi Prefecture ko bhi tsunami alerts mile.
JMA ne bhukamp ke baad logon ko alert kiya, bataya ki tsunami lehron ki uchai ek meter (lagbhag teen feet) tak pahunch sakti hai. Shuruati chinta ke bawajood, U.S. Geological Survey ne baad mein apni report ko update karte hue kaha ki is bhukamp se “koi tsunami khatak nahi hai.” Lekin, JMA ne logon se samudr ke kshetron se door rehne ki salah di, kyunki baar-baar tsunami unhe samna karne ka khatra hai. “Kripya samudra mein utarne ya coastal areas ke paas jaane se bachein,” agency ne social media platform X par kaha.
Ikata nuclear power facility, jo bhukamp ke epicenter ke nazdeek hai, wahan koi bhi abnormal activity report nahi hui hai. Ab tak, bhukamp se hone wale nuksan ki poori jaankari nahi mili hai.
Japan ka bhukamp ke prati kafi zyada susceptibility jaana jaata hai, kyunki yeh “Ring of Fire” par sthit hai, jisse Pacific Ocean ke charo taraf bhukamp aur volcanic eruptions ka high frequency wala area maana jata hai.
