February 2021 earthquake off the Tōhoku coast in Japan
An intense and deadly seismic event struck offshore east of Tōhoku, Japan.
The MJMA 7.3 or Mw 7.1 earthquake occurred on a Saturday night at 23:07 JST on 13 February at a focal depth of 44.0 kilometers (27.3 mi).
It had a maximum JMA intensity of Shindo 6+ to Shindo 7 while on the Mercalli intensity scale, earned a rating of VIII (Severe).
The earthquake was followed by multiple aftershocks within less than an hour, three of which registering magnitude 5.3.
The earthquake itself has been considered an aftershock of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake which had occurred almost ten years prior.
