A 7.1 magnitude earthquake has struck Japan's southern island of Kyushu. Officials warned of a tsunami earlier, which has now been withdrawn. Former prime minister Fumio Kishida said people's lives are "the top priority" and warned of the possibility of strong aftershocks as seismic activity continues in the area. #japan #earthquake #tsunami #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Why not listen to one of our podcasts?
