On July 28, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan, followed by continuous aftershocks. Due to the concentration of numerous semiconductor manufacturers in the prefecture, several factories suspended production. Currently, local chip facilities are gradually resuming operations. The Sony factory began gradually resuming production on August 4 and is expected to restore its pre-earthquake production capacity by mid-August.
