A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.9 has hit southwestern Japan, the country’s Meteorological Agency said Monday, while warning the public to stay away from coastal areas because of a tsunami threat.
Tsunami advisories were issued for Miyazaki Prefecture, where the quake was centered, in the southwestern island of Kyushu, as well as nearby Kochi Prefecture, in Shikoku island, shortly after the quake struck at 9:19 p.m. local time, according to the agency.
There were no immediate reports of damage. Residents in some coastal areas were told to evacuate as a precautionary measure. One man was slightly injured in Kyushu after falling down some stairs, NHK reported. Trains stopped running in Miyazaki Station, stranding passengers.

I am Japanese. Miyazaki, where the earthquake occurred, is a small regional city with a small population, so even if a tsunami comes, the damage will be minimal and it will be fine. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to people overseas.
The US Military base they call Japan need to regain their Samurai spirit, and stop being eunuchs
