• A magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck off the coast of Aomori Prefecture, Japan, on December 8, 2025, at approximately 11:15 p.m. local time (14:15 UTC). Sources like USGS, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), Reuters, and CNN confirmed the event, with the epicenter about 80 km offshore at a depth of around 50 km.
• The quake triggered tsunami warnings for coastal areas in Aomori, Iwate, and Hokkaido prefectures, with initial expectations of waves up to 3 meters. Observed tsunamis were smaller, reaching up to 70 cm in places like Kuji port (Iwate) and 40-50 cm in several other ports. Warnings were later downgraded to advisories.
• Evacuation orders affected around 90,000 residents in the Sanriku coastal region. Japan's advanced early warning systems and preparedness helped minimize immediate impacts.

  accurately reports the event: it includes videos of nighttime shaking in urban areas (likely from security or dash cams showing lights swaying and buildings trembling), a map from JMA highlighting tsunami warning zones, and highlights the 7.6 magnitude, location, and expected waves up to 3m.
• Minor injuries were reported (e.g., from falling objects), some fires in Aomori, and train suspensions, but no major damage or casualties as of latest updates. Nuclear plants in the region showed no abnormalities.

This earthquake occurred in a seismically active area near the 2011 Tohoku event site, but it was significantly smaller.
