(UTV|COLOMBO) – A strong earthquake in Osaka, Japan has killed at least three people, including a child, and injured more than 200, the BBC reported.
Airports in the area were closed for several hours, train lines interrupted and factories had to halt production.
The 6.1 magnitude quake did not trigger a tsunami warning and nuclear plants in the area are operating normally.
Japan lies in a particularly earthquake-prone region and accounts for around 20% of quakes worldwide of magnitude 6.0 or more.
