No-Go Zone: Japan jolted by 6.0 quake, bans entry to Fukushima area

An earthquake with a 6.0 magnitude has rocked eastern and northeastern Japan. No tsunami warning was issued and there were no immediate reports of any casualties or damage. Meanwhile, Japan declared the 20-kilometer evacuation area around the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant an OFFICIAL no-entry zone. The ban comes after police found more than 60 families still living inside the affected area following the March disaster. The plant, crippled by both the earthquake and tsunami, has been hit by a series of explosions and radiation leaks.
