  "summary": "A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Japan early today, injuring at least 20 people in Aichi Prefecture. The tremor originated in western Shizuoka Prefecture at a depth of about 40 kilometres, registering upper 5 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale in Chita, Aichi Prefecture, and lower 5 in parts of Aichi, Nagano, and Gifu prefectures. The Japan Meteorological Agency set up a liaison office to respond to the quake, which posed no tsunami risk. Authorities urged residents in affected areas to remain vigilant for potential aftershocks. Tohoku Shinkansen services between Tokyo and Iwate were temporarily disrupted before resuming.",
