Dozens of earthquakes struck near Japan on Monday following a cluster of seismic activity that rocked the area over the weekend. Today’s set of earthquakes follow a 6.8 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan’s Iwate Prefecture at 5:03 p.

A powerful quake rattled northern Japan on Sunday (November 9, 2025) evening, followed by several more temblors, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.

The region is haunted by the memory of a massive 9.0-magnitude undersea quake in 2011, which triggered a tsunami that left around 18,500 people dead or missing.
