Experts link the new earthquake in Japan with the 2011 tsunami. Seismologists believe that the new tremors in eastern part of the country are aftershocks of the natural disaster five years ago.
The Japanese authorities are concerned about the threat of a tsunami. The coast of the Honshu island is in a danger zone. The epicenter of the new earthquake was off the coast of Fukushima.
In less than 24 hours, over 30 residual aftershocks with magnitude of 3.2-4.9 were recorded in Japan.
Experts warned the Japanese citizens about possible new tremors with force up to 5 points on the JMA Scale (the JMA Scale runs from 0 to 7). Also, the Japanese were warned about possible tsunamis.
People, who live near the earthquake's epicenter, were evacuated away from the coast. The Japanese authorities recommended them to get on the tall buildings in case of tsunami.

According to reports, the Fukushima nuclear plant and others in the area have not been affected.
