Japan issued a tsunami warning following a powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast. The tremor, which occurred early in the morning, caused significant alarm among residents in coastal areas, with authorities quickly urging people to evacuate to higher ground.
The earthquake’s epicenter was located at sea, prompting immediate concerns over potential tsunami waves. Japan’s Meteorological Agency has issued warnings for coastal regions, advising local populations to stay alert and follow evacuation procedures.
While the earthquake itself caused some damage, the main concern remains the possible tsunami. Japanese authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have mobilized emergency services to respond swiftly should the tsunami materialize.
