Breaking news from Japan: A second earthquake has struck the country in just one day, with a magnitude 6.2 earthquake reported in the Hokkaido region. According to the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre, the earthquake struck off the coast of Hokkaido at around 10:45 p.m. local time.

Japanese authorities reported a maximum seismic intensity of four on Japan’s seven-point seismic intensity scale. There is currently no tsunami warning following the latest earthquake.

With two earthquakes striking Japan within a single day, authorities are closely monitoring the situation and assessing any potential damage.
