⌨

The early morning headlines initially focused on the M7.6 Aomori earthquake aftermath, reiterating the "Later Earthquake Advisory Information" and the need for continued preparedness in Hokkaido and Tohoku. However, a major shift occurred as Hokkaido Governor Naomichi Suzuki announced his official consent for the restart of Hokkaido Electric Power's Tomari Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3 in the early afternoon. This decision, following local municipal approvals, dominated reports from major outlets throughout the day, being framed as a crucial step for stable power supply and regional economic growth, particularly for the semiconductor industry. Concurrently, the radar lock-on incident between Japan and China remained a point of contention, with both sides exchanging accusations, and a new 'National Intelligence Council' was proposed, elevating the Prime Minister's role.
