At least three people, including a child, were killed after a strong earthquake rocked the Japenese city of Osaka during the morning rush hour, Al-Jazeera reports.
The 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck just before 8:00am (23:00 GMT) on Monday, knocking over walls and injuring at least 230 people.
Meanwhile, the Nuclear Regulation Authority said it had detected no problems at its local nuclear power plants. The quake did not trigger tsunami warnings.
