Japan issued a tsunami warning on Friday after a 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck the northeastern part of the country. This information was given by Japan Meteorological Agency.
No clear information has been received yet regarding the loss of life and property due to the earthquake.
The JMA said the earthquake occurred at 11:44 a.m. near the coast of Aomori, located in the northern region of Japan’s main island of Honshu. The agency also said that the epicenter of the earthquake was at a depth of about 20 kilometers from the ground.
The agency warned that tsunami waves up to one meter (3.2 feet) high could hit the Pacific Ocean coast in Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate and Miyagi.
No clear information has been received yet about the loss of life and property due to the earthquake.
Tremors were felt again on Friday after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck northern Japan earlier this week. That earthquake injured people, caused minor damage and even caused a tsunami in some areas of the Pacific Ocean coast.
At least 34 people were injured in a 7.5-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Japan’s main Honshu island on Monday. Officials warned at the same time that tremors could be felt later.
