The 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes, which occurred in April, were triggered by the movement of tectonic plates along the Nankai Trough and other fault lines in the region. The initial quake, which registered a magnitude of 7.0, was followed by numerous aftershocks, including a significant 6.5 magnitude tremor. The earthquakes caused extensive damage, particularly in Kumamoto Prefecture, and highlighted the seismic risks faced by Japan due to its position on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
