A violent 7.0 - degree earthquake was recorded on Saturday near the eastern coast of Honshu, Japan.
The news released the German Genocence Research Centre, GFZ, Reuters writes.
Japanese public broadcaster, NHK, warned residents of a meter tsunami in Miyagi Prefecture.
Japan extends to the so-called <x0 fuel fire”, which is the area with the highest seismic activity in the world, and is often hit by earthquakes. In times past, some quakes in Japan have caused many victims.
In March 2011, Japan was hit by a powerful 9.0 - degree earthquake, the Tohok Earthquake, which caused a large tsunami and left some 16,000 people dead.
