Reports just coming in suggest that Akuseki Island in Kagoshima Prefecture has seen nearly 1,600 tremors since late June, prompting evacuations amidst severe stress and disrupted sleep for its small population.

Dozens of residents on Akuseki Island, a remote part of Japan’s Kagoshima Prefecture, have been forced to evacuate their homes following an intense swarm of almost 1,600 earthquakes over the past two and a half weeks.

The continuous seismic activity has led to severe distress and widespread sleep deprivation among the small island community. Local officials have confirmed that, as of Monday, there have been no reports of major damage on Akuseki Island itself, despite a magnitude 5.1 earthquake striking last night.
