The quake struck Shizuoka Prefecture west of Tokyo at 1:04 am, with no tsunami warning issued. Authorities reported no deaths, but at least two dozen people were hurt across Shizuoka and neighboring Aichi, mostly with minor injuries from falls and shattered glass. Storefront windows were broken, merchandise was knocked from shelves, and regional train services, including Shinkansen bullet trains, were temporarily delayed or suspended. The tremor was felt as far west as Osaka. Hours later, a separate 4.3-magnitude quake struck the Kumamoto region, with no serious damage reported so far. The area is still recovering from a deadly 7.1-magnitude tremor in July. (Bssnews)
