Strong quakes strike Japan coast
2011-03-23
[Iran Press TV] Strong earthquakes have shaken Japan's northeast coast, but no tsunami warning has been issued, the US Geological Survey reported.

Two earthquakes of 6.6 and 6.4 magnitude struck within two and a half hours off Japan's tsunami-hit northeast coast on Tuesday.

There were no reports of casualties and no tsunami warnings.

Japan is still suffering the consequences of a record 9.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Japan's northeast coast on March 11, leaving over 21,000 people dead and triggering a crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.

According to the latest update by Japan's National Police Agency, death toll from the quake reached 9,080 in 12 prefectures, while the number of missing came to 13,561 in six prefectures.

More than 350,000 people are still living in evacuation centers or temporary housing in northern and eastern Japan, many of them short of food, water and fuel.
