Japan has issued its highest-level megaquake warning for the first time in history, covering an 800-mile Pacific coastline from Hokkaido to Chiba. This follows a powerful 7.5 magnitude earthquake that struck off Aomori late Monday night, injuring at least 33 people and triggering small tsunamis. Authorities warn a follow-up quake—potentially 8.0 or higher—could hit within the week along the Japan and Kuril Trenches, with experts saying up to 200,000 lives may be at risk. Millions are being urged to review evacuation routes and prepare emergency kits as nuclear plants and transport networks conduct safety checks. A full breakdown of Japan’s unprecedented alert and what comes next.
