An earthquake measuring 6.9 occurred off the northeastern coast of Honshu, the main island of Japan, on Nov. 21. It struck near Fukushima, the location of a deadly earthquake in 2011 that caused a large tsunami that damaged the local nuclear power plant beyond repair.
Tsunami waves caused by the Nov. 21 quake were small and caused no damage. Only minor damage was reported due to the quake, itself, and there were no injuries.
