At least 48 people died in the earthquake that hit the west coast of central Japan on Monday, according to a new report released this Tuesday by Japanese authorities.

The earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.6 on the open Richter scale and with its epicenter on the Noto peninsula, led authorities to activate a tsunami warning, in effect for 18 hours, along the western coast of the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido and from the north of the island of Kyushu.

The 155 earthquakes that have rocked central Japan since Monday have caused “numerous victims” and significant material damage, including collapsed buildings and fires, said Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
