At 23:15 local time on December 8, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in the waters off eastern Honshu in Japan. The depth of the earthquake was 50 kilometers. On the 19th, a Japanese government expert meeting published a report summarizing new disaster loss predictions. According to the report, if an earthquake with a magnitude of magnitude 7 on the Richter scale were to hit the southern part of the capital city, in the worst case, the death toll would reach 18,000, 400,000 buildings would completely collapse or be burnt down, and economic losses would reach 83 trillion yen. Japan's Cabinet Office plans to draw up a basic plan to summarize future countermeasures before the end of this fiscal year.
