ATENȚIE! Alerta de cutremur cu magnitudine 9,9...Vezi mai mult

A false alarm about a 9.9 magnitude earthquake near Kamchatka caused panic in Japan, but was retracted after eight minutes. The Japan Meteorological Agency apologized for the error, which stemmed from an overestimation of the quake's magnitude. A 6.9 magnitude quake was recorded, but no significant aftershocks or tsunami risks were reported. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the mistake and prevent future occurrences.
