Major earthquake hits Japan’s Kyushu region

A major earthquake struck Japan's Kyushu region, prompting emergency warnings and disruptions. Companies like Sony and TSMC, which operate manufacturing facilities in the area, are assessing the impact. The Japanese government issued earthquake and tsunami alerts for several southern Kyushu prefectures, with a tsunami warning for a 1-meter wave. While the quake caused power outages affecting around 40,000 homes and halted railway services, including high-speed bullet trains, there were no reports of issues at nearby nuclear power stations. Japan, located along the 'Ring of Fire,' experiences frequent seismic activity, with significant past disasters such as the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake that resulted in over 2,700 injuries.
