TOKYO : The number of people injured in the 6.8-magnitude earthquake in northern Japan reached 200 Friday, according to the government.
Of them, 38 sustained serious injuries, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said. It added that 89 buildings were partly damaged in the quake, which occured early Thursday.
The tremor shattered windows, triggered landslides and cracked buildings -- and was also felt strongly in Tokyo, some 800 kilometres (500 miles) to the south -- but caused no deaths.
