A 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit waters off the northeastern coast of Japan on Monday, the Japan Meteorological Agency reported. The quake struck near Iwate Prefecture at a depth of about 10 kilometres and triggered a tsunami warning for waves up to three metres. Authorities advised residents in coastal areas to evacuate immediately. No casualties or damage have been confirmed yet. The agency later downgraded the warning to an advisory as wave activity decreased. Seismic monitors detected strong aftershocks in the region following the main tremor.
