Tokyo was rocked by a massive tremor on Tuesday, compounding the fears of residents already gripped by concerns that nuclear radiation from a damaged power plant could reach the city.
According to the Japan Meteorological Society, the quake struck the Shizuoka-ken Tobu region southwest of Tokyo at approximately 10:30 p.m. local time. It rumbled from a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometres, with a magnitude of 6.0.
