On November 8, a 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck Aichi Prefecture in Japan. At least 22 people were injured as a result of the natural disaster, the Associated Press reported.
The earthquake shattered the windows of some shops, and people evacuated buildings. Authorities have warned that further strong tremors could occur in the coming days.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimated the magnitude of the earthquake at 5.5. In addition to Aichi, the tremors were felt in Shizuoka, Gifu, Yamanashi, and other neighboring regions.
The Japan Meteorological Agency has warned that more strong earthquakes could occur over the next week—particularly within the next two to three days.
