A little more than 24 hours after Japan’s last 6.0+ aftershock, another 6.1 magnitude temblor rattled the east coast of Honshu island at just past 9 pm local time today.
While there were no immediate reports of additional damage, the quake was reportedly strongly felt as far away as Tokyo several hundred kilometers to the south.
Over the past 24 hours more than 30 aftershocks of 4.5 mag. or greater have been recorded in the region.
Although their frequency and average strength are declining, seismologists continue to warn that another large (7.0+) aftershock is still possible in the region.
