Earthquake strikes off Japanese coast
Print Edition
A-6.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the northeastern coast of Japan early yesterday, triggering minor tsunamis but no reports of major damage or injuries.
The Japan Meteorological Agency lifted a tsunami advisory two hours after it was issued following the quake.
Hours later, another offshore quake of magnitude 5.7 shook the area, following several smaller aftershocks in the area.
The earlier quake鈥檚 epicenter was at a depth of about 10 kilometers. It shook much of northeast Japan and could be felt in Tokyo, 690 kilometers away. The second, which struck generally the same area occurred at a much deeper 50 kilometers below the sea surface.
Small tsunamis of up to 20 centimeters were recorded after the first quake along the coast of Iwate prefecture, according to the agency.
