Another powerful earthquake has hit north-east Japan, exactly one month after the devastating earthquake and tsunami.
The BBC reported that the 7.1-magnitude tremor triggered a brief tsunami warning, and forced workers to evacuate the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.
The epicentre of the quake was in Fukushima prefecture, and struck at a depth of just 10km.
The latest tremor struck shortly after the country stopped to observe a minute’s silence to remember the nearly 28,000 dead or missing in the 11 March disaster.
Survivors in shelters marked the moment the quake and tsunami hit with bowed heads.
The official death toll from the disaster is 13,127, while 14,348 remain unaccounted for. More than 150,000 people have been made homeless.
