1. Tsunami Threat Eases After Powerful 7.7 Earthquake in Japan

A powerful earthquake measuring magnitude 7.7 struck off the northeastern coast of Japan on Monday afternoon, triggering tsunami warnings and widespread precautionary measures across the region.

The tremor, which hit at a depth of around 20 kilometers in the Pacific Ocean near Iwate, caused strong shaking that made it difficult for people to stand in some areas and was felt as far as Tokyo.

Authorities initially warned of tsunami waves reaching up to three meters, prompting evacuation orders for nearly 172,000 residents across coastal areas from Hokkaido to Chiba. Within two hours, waves of up to 80 centimeters were recorded at several ports, including Kuji and Miyako in Iwate Prefecture. The warning was later downgraded to an advisory as the immediate threat eased, as reported by Reuters.

Several towns with memories of the devastating 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, such as Otsuchi and Kamaishi, swiftly ordered evacuations. Public broadcasts repeatedly urged residents to move to higher ground, reinforcing lessons from past disasters.

2. Manchester City Overtakes Arsenal at Top of Premier League Table

Manchester City has once again asserted its position as a strong candidate for the Premier League title this season. A narrow 1-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor Stadium, early Thursday, April 23, 2026, was enough to unseat Arsenal from the top of the standings and at the same time ensure the hosts' relegation.

Erling Haaland's early goal in the fifth minute made the difference in a match that, on paper, was completely dominated by the visiting team. A calm finish by the Norwegian striker, off an assist from Jeremy Doku, gave Manchester City the lead from the start.

This result brings City's total to 70 points from 33 matches, the same as Arsenal, but with a superior goal difference. The title race is heating up as the season enters its final phase. On the other hand, this defeat dealt a heavy blow to Burnley. They remain in 19th place with 20 points from 34 matches, trailing 13 points behind the safety zone with only four matches remaining.

3. Indonesia Economy Seen Stable for 3 Months, Luhut Tells Prabowo

Chairperson of the National Economic Council (DEN) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan has reported to President Prabowo Subianto that Indonesia’s economy is projected to remain stable over the next three months, based on recent economic simulations.

“Based on our comprehensive simulations, the economic outlook for the next three months remains very secure and well maintained. Our economic fundamentals are strong,” Luhut said in a written statement on Wednesday.

However, in line with the president’s directive, the government has prepared a range of anticipatory policy scenarios to mitigate risks if geopolitical tensions persist longer than expected.

One key focus is addressing potential spikes in energy prices, particularly the widening gap between global crude oil prices and domestic fuel prices.
