(Bloomberg) -- An earthquake struck central Japan
near Niigata, toppling houses, causing a fire at a nuclear power
plant and suspending bullet train services. Seven people were
killed and more than 800 were injured, NHK television reported.
The magnitude 6.8 quake, centered off the Japan Sea coast,
triggered a tsunami warning that was later lifted, the country's
meteorological agency said on its Web site. The quake's epicenter
was about 250 kilometers (155 miles) northwest of Tokyo, where
buildings swayed for several minutes around 10:15 a.m.
