A magnitude-7.1 earthquake was recorded this Tuesday in Japan's Kumamoto Prefecture, located on the island of Kyushu.
Following the seismic event, which occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers, a tsunami advisory of up to one meter high was issued for the Ariake and Yatsushiro seas.
The earthquake was felt across the entire island of Kyushu, with lower intensity reported in areas further from the epicenter.

Additionally, rail operator JR Kyushu, which serves the island, suspended its transit operations, including its bullet train services.
