BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck Japan on Wednesday night, prompting a tsunami advisory for some areas on the northeast coast.

Preliminary details showed that only small tsunami waves were hitting the coast after an advisory warned of waves up to one meter in the Fukushima and Miyagi regions.

The quake, which happened under the sea at 11:36 pm at a depth of 60 km, caused temporary power outages that struck more than two million households. It also came only days after Japan marked the 11th anniversary of the massive quake in 2011 that caused a deadly tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

"Calls have been inundating police and ambulances in Fukushima and Miyagi," government spokesperson Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters. "We're doing our best to assess the extent of the damage." 

Japan's nuclear authorities said the Fukushima plant was not experiencing any abnormalities.

As for material damage, there was some structural damage in the country's northeast, and a bullet train derailed north of Fukushima city.
