Japan islanders sleepless after 900 earthquakes in two weeks
Residents of Japan's Tokara islands are in distress as over 900 earthquakes have hit the region in just two weeks, causing anxiety and sleepless nights. Despite no reported damage or tsunami warnings, authorities are urging residents to be prepared for evacuation if necessary. This increased seismic activity in the region is alarming for the 700 inhabitants living on seven of the 12 Tokara islands, who are exhausted and desperate for the tremors to cease.
