A massive 7.1 earthquake has rocked southwest Japan, slamming inland on Kyushu and triggering a brief tsunami warning before it was cleared. Thousands are now in shelters as emergency crews scramble to respond to cracked roads, damaged bridges, and fires. With shallow depth, aftershocks are a major concern. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi confirmed injuries, while power outages and halted train services compound the chaos. This follows last December’s 7.5 quake and echoes the catastrophic 2011 disaster that claimed 18,000 lives — a chilling reminder of Japan’s seismic vulnerability.
