A STRONG earthquake on Friday struck the Japanese coastal area devastated by last year's massive quake and tsunami. It generated small waves but there were no immediate reports of heavy damage.
Several people along the northeastern coast were reportedly injured and buildings in Tokyo and other parts of the country swayed for several minutes.
The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.3 and struck in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture at 5:18pm local time, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said. The epicenter was 10 kilometers offshore.
The area was shaken by repeated, smaller aftershocks.
After the quake, authorities issued a warning that a tsunami potentially as high as two meters could hit.
