In Japan, a 7.3 magnitude earthquake has struck the eastern coast, leaving millions without power and triggering a landslide.

According to Japan’s Cabinet Secretary Katsunobo Kato, casualties and structural damage are being assessed and at this stage 100 people have been injured.

The earthquake hit the Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures, the same that were hit by the more powerful 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The strength of the earthquake shook buildings in Tokyo, which are hundreds of kilometres away.
