An aftershock measuring 5.8 magnitude has brought fresh misery to Japan – a week after nearly 50 were killed in another massive earthquake.
The quake was centred about 60 miles southeast of Honshu on the northern coast of Japan and near where a devastating tsunami struck in March 2011 killing about 20,000 people.
The tremor rattled survivors of the deadly earthquake last week and they are now bracing themselves for heavy rain and the possibility of more landslides.
The latest earthquake of 5.8 magnitude struck 30 miles below the surface off Japan’s northeast coast on Wednesday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
But there was no tsunami warning, nor were there any reports of damage or casualties.
