The claim
日向灘を震源とする地震被害の様子
Original review summary
The review found that the image circulated as showing damage from the August 8, 2024 Hyuga-nada earthquake was not an image of that earthquake’s damage. The same image had been posted eight days before the earthquake, and the review notes that NHK reported it as an apparent AI-generated fake damage image.[S1]
