⌨
The day was dominated by a magnitude 5.9 earthquake that struck the Kanto region at 5:08 PM, registering lower 5 intensity in Ibaraki, Saitama, Chiba, and Tokyo. NHK, TBS, and other outlets provided continuous updates, reporting at least 10 injuries and disruptions to train services, including the temporary suspension of the Yamanote Line. The Japan Times and Kyodo News highlighted warnings of similar shaking over the next week. Earlier, heavy rain caused flooding in Tokyo and Saitama, with record downpours leading to submerged cars and road collapses. The Tobu Nikko Line accident investigation continued, with police searching Tobu Construction offices and seizing radios. In politics, Cabinet support rates showed mixed results: Mainichi reported 41% (unchanged), Yomiuri 56% (down 1 point), and Kyodo 50.2% (lowest since launch). Other stories included Canada's retaliatory tariffs on the US, the engagement of figure skating pair 'Rikuryu', and China's humanoid robot Olympics.
