All coupled Shinkansen services have been suspended and are being turned back at their joining/splitting points, with passengers having to change for Tokyo. Yamagata services are being terminated at Fukushima. Akita services are being terminated at Morioka. This is currently set to continue until at least the 7th.
It should be noted that the issue that caused the last in service split was metal filings activating the emergency uncouple switch, which has subsequently been deactivated (according to NHK). The Transportation Safety Board are investigating the current split.
2nd similar incident involving the same types of trains in 6 months is certainly sub optimal.
