Tokyo-Sana
Two people were killed, 161 others were injured, factories were disrupted, and thousands of homes were cut off from electricity and water as a result of the 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Japan yesterday.
Reuters reported that the earthquake forced factories to suspend their operations, exacerbating the difficulties facing manufacturers of smartphones, electronics and cars around the world, in addition to the suspension of high-speed trains "Shinkansen" and the closure of roads.
In turn, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said: The government will be on high alert in anticipation of other strong tremors within two or three days.
The earthquake occurred just before midnight last night, east of Fukushima, the same region that witnessed the largest earthquake to hit Japan 11 years ago.
Yesterday's earthquake left hundreds of thousands of residents in Tokyo without power, and tsunami warnings were issued.
