People in northeastern Japan braced for aftershocks as the government on Monday began assessing damage and restoring power after a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Fukushima late on Saturday.
The quake, which struck at 11:07 pm, left about 150 people injured and almost a million households without power. Its epicenter, according to Japan s Meteorological Agency, was near where three nuclear reactors melted down after a quake and tsunami hit the region nearly 10 years ago.
