(뉴스 6/18) 일본 오사카 5.3-5.9 지진으로 인한 항공사별 Travel Waiver / 일본기상청 추가지진 예보

일본 오사카에 현지시간 월요일 오전에 5.3-5.9 규모의 지진으로 현재까지 3명이 사망했습니다. 고인들의 명복을 빕니다..

이틀 전이었던 16일엔 도쿄 동쪽 지바 현에서 규모 4.5과 4.3 지진이 있었다고 하고 같은 지역에서 일주일사이에 규모 4이상의 지진이 네차례나 있었다고 합니다.

일본 기상청은 오사카 주변 지역에 앞으로 진도 6정도의 지진이 2-3차례 추가로 일어날수 있다고 경고했다고 합니다.

더이상 인명피해나 더 큰 지진이 없길 바라며 일본 여행중이시거나 거주하시는 분들 안전하시길 바랍니다.
