TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is considering cancelling a visit to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia planned from Friday to Monday after weather officials flagged that the risk of a major earthquake was higher than usual, broadcaster NTV said.
In an advisory on Thursday, the Japan Meteorological Agency warned of the “relatively higher chance” of another major earthquake near Japan’s Pacific coast, following one of magnitude 7.1 off the southwestern island of Kyushu.
